A Person Among People, An Introduction to Klafata22

Klafata22 is a classmate who truly goes with the flow. He always seems to be in a good mood while not being in your face about it Monday morning when you dread ever coming to school. Knowing klafafa22 I know he truly is happy go lucky and is here for a good time. He loves Baseball being his high school team as well as the Red Sox. He also enjoys soccer and his team. Goes to Oak Hill High School as a good student and a multi-sport athlete. Koby truly is a large fan of Oxygen. If you asked him, he’d say he needs it. 

Lafata22 has a wonderful avatar that is a square that has a red rhombus in the middle of the piece with a blue rectangle half the size parallel with the square. Behind the rhombus, this is black squiggle lines going to the edge of the square. Klafata22 had some true curveballs in the way he answered my hard-hitting questions. I asked, “is baseball your favorite sport?” “Yes,” he responded. With this response, it was truly hard not to be taken back by this exhilarating answer. I also asked, “where is oxygen on your top ten favorite things?” “Number 1.” While Klafata is soft-spoken and taciturn in person he is truly an Anthony Bourdain-Brad Pitt type. At this point in the interview, it is easy to lose track of your purpose and ask to hit the town with such an interesting gentleman. For the last question, I gave him a softball, I needed him to approve of me as a person. “Is blue your favorite color?” Expecting a simple answer, he does just the opposite, “No, it’s red.”

After this interview, I was shocked by the way this man lives on the edge. Oxygen surprised me as an important part of life. This shows how truly introspective and observant Mr. KLatata22 is. The rectangle in his avatar represents a soccer field. Which he plays for our school. He’s been compared to some of the best players to ever come out of THE Oak Hill High School. At the beginning of the process, I thought of the rectangle as a swimming pool. I thought Klafata was the next Caleb Dressel.

The difference between Klafata and myself can be boiled down to confidence. The difference being the fact I had six different drafts with different colors for each while Lafata only needed two and realistically he could have just done one. His decisiveness was on display. While he didn’t have as many drafts he made sure to think of 18 wonderful ideas to fill the paper when I didn’t. Leading to my more simple mind compared to such a friend, being Lafata.
