Joaquin Juarez, also known as JJ (Class of 2026), is often found playing the electric guitar or going to the gym during his free time, both of which he is very passionate about. Even though he started playing the guitar four months ago, he is very dedicated to it and loves improving whenever he can.

JJ also loves boxing, and over the years of practicing and dedicating himself to it, it has become more than just a sport. He has realized that boxing teaches many valuable life lessons he can carry with him anywhere, such as discipline. When feeling hurt or wanting to give up, he pushes through and finishes his duty to the best of his ability. Patience is another lesson boxing has taught him, as being impatient can lead to getting hit or seriously injured. Because of this, JJ has developed a calm and enjoyable demeanor and has learned how to accept delays and numerous challenges.
