Luckus also likes to make others happy in school by showing them respect. He said he is working hard this year to participate in his classes especially his math class.
When Luckus isn’t answering discussion questions in his classes, he can be found practicing his trombone in band class.
“I like to play in band where I get to work on my music with a lot of kids who are really good at their instruments,” Luckus said.
In addition to band class, Luckus also enjoys his technology education class. He explained how they are working on a windmill project made of Legos. Luckus likes to do hands-on work.
In Luckus’ spare time he continues to work on his music skills.
“I practice my trombone in my spare time, because that way I will get better at it,” Luckus explained.
