SAYED CORTES

Sayed is a seven-year resident of Hawthorne and plans to study at both Passaic County Community College and New Jersey Institute of Technology to pursue a career in Computer Engineering He has always possessed a deep fascination with technology and literature, hence his involvement in the Creative Writing Club and the Robotics Club When reflecting on his experience with the research paper, he expressed the belief that perception is key, not just in being familiar with a character and their actions but to understand the motive behind their actions He explains, “People as a whole tend to share similar reasoning for the actions they take; it's just a matter of questioning and understanding the act itself ” Sayed would ultimately like to thank Snoopy, his loyal companion who, even in death, never fails to lift his spirits
