CJ Cohen is prepared to undertake the world of journalism as it relates to his most passionate subject: sports. Before transitioning to college, he hopes to continue down his own path of playing lacrosse while, most of all, being an informer along the way.

Q: Why are you interested in journalism?

A: I think it’s important that people know what’s going on, and without journalism, no one will know what’s happening.

Q: How do you want readers to feel after consuming your journalism?

A: I want readers to feel informed after they read my journalism.

Q: Who would you call your biggest role model, and why?

A: My older brother is my biggest role model… being younger than him, you follow in his footsteps and look up to him.

Q: Do you have an important lesson that you stick to — that you always fall back on?.

A: Treat others how you want to be treated. [You] want to be a good person because you want people to be good to you
