Entering the Life of Jason bach

​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.”
