![]() Jason Bach ’25 prepares for another jersey day by wearing his country’s colors. Bach is from Vietnam, and he is playing varsity soccer this fall. “I’m wearing this jersey because it’s senior night for the soccer team tomorrow,” Bach said. “I want to express my love for my favorite sport and my home country by wearing a Vietnamese soccer jersey.” Due to the cancellation of the Powderpuff Game during the Homecoming week, the exciting second jersey day for Upper school is taking place this week. Although there are not as many people wearing jerseys compared to the first jersey day, Jason’s bright red soccer jersey from Vietnam impresses everyone. Bach lives in Boxley Building in downtown Roanoke, but you can’t even see him in the building before 8 p.m. every weekday. The reason behind it is he always goes to the gym to do lifting after every soccer practice, day after day. This spirit of hard work makes his soccer skills better and better, and his body stronger and stronger. “I’m already in my senior year of high school this year,” Bach said, “I hope that I can face life and soccer with my fullest mental state and draw a successful conclusion for my high school career.”

North Cross school gathers students from 13 different countries all around the world, it is precisely because of this situation that students from North Cross have the opportunity to try each other’s hometown delicacies. K-Pot is a restaurant that offers a hot pot buffet, and hot pot is very famous in Asia. Carter Smith ‘25 is a student from Canada, and he is very interested in Asian food, so he decided to give it a shot. “How should I cook the meat in the hot pot?” Smith asked. Smith’s questions are the most common question for the people who are eating hot pot for the first time. Charlie Zhao ‘26 is from China, he taught Smith how to eat hot pot step by step. “You need to put the meat into the hot pot first,” Zhao said. “You may eat the meat when the meat changes color.” Smith put the meat into the hot pot as Zhao said, and picked out the meat after it changed color. “It tastes so good,” Smith said, “I never ate meat in this way in my life, but it actually impressed me.” After Smith’s first bite, he just couldn’t stop eating. “I like hot pot so much,” Smith said, “what else can I say at this point, Food knows no border…” Photo by Thomas Greer ‘25. |
