When someone asks you what your favorite color is you usually just answer it with that favorite shade. But have you ever thought about why it is your favorite color?

PB sophomore Xavier Chang offers an interesting response for his favorite color, purple, calling it “the color of royalty.”

Beginning his second year of high school, Xavier is thrilled for the year considering how great his freshman year was. He’s excited to get good grades and get outdoors while preparing for basketball and lacrosse seasons which are quickly approaching. Speaking of seasons, Xavier’s favorite is winter as he prefers wearing hoodies, and his least favorite is summer even though that is his best time to travel. Kyoto, Japan, Cancun, Mexico, and North Carolina are some of his most treasured vacation spots. Xavier adds, “If I could go anywhere else, I’d definitely dream of going to Dubai.” 

When he isn’t traveling or playing sports, he's often found cooking or reading stories. He enjoys making dumplings and does it with ease, which is great because of how difficult they can be to cook. When it comes to reading, Xavier spends a lot of time reading manga and graphic novels, with his favorite being Amulet. His love for literature will be especially helpful for future studies since he dreams of becoming a lawyer, which is a big career in the humanities field and requires strong reading and writing skills. 

Xavier is also very excited for the social part of this school year since he considers himself a friendly person. He believes that he is both an introvert and extrovert, something that is called an ambivert. He notes that he can make friends quite easily. The first thing he looks for in a friend is compatibility. He adds “I like having similar interests so we can relate more to each other.” He enjoys relating to others as it allows for ease of conversation and better flow. 

When asked to describe himself in two words, Xavier quickly responds with “passionate and ambitious” which are fascinating traits. He takes his future very seriously, and is willing to work hard in everything he does, all while having fun and making the most of his high school experience. His great enthusiasm, mindset, and strive for greatness will help him navigate through high school and ensure a successful future!
