“Philosopher of Learning'', is the meaning behind the name Shishyan (10). A name native to South Asia and specifically to the country Shishyan was raised in Nepal. Home of the tallest mountain on the planet, a symbol of Shiyishan’s extraordinary life.
Spending the majority of his childhood in Nepal, Shishyan found comfort in his grandmother's cooking, “She’s good.” Shishyan (10) recalls, “She is a part of Nepal where it has good food”. Acquiring a taste of goats, fried lungs & intestines. After dinner, you are sure to find Shishyan in his room, “trying to sleep, but I end up watching anime” Shishyan (10). All the while being an avid Baki watcher and fan of Jojo's Bizarre Adventures, Joseph Joestar being his favorite character.
Much like his love for anime Shishyan has found interest in computers as well as technology in general, planning on studying a computer-related major in college. However, Shishyan still puts the future in perspective as he is focused on the here and now, “I’m not a grown-up, I'm still in high school” Shishyan (10).
Although staying in the moment, Shishyan is already working towards his passions as he has, and will, continue to take courses in and out of school about computer programming. “Mr. Merril said that we’re gonna use unity”, Shishayan (10) exclaims in excitement, “I watched a tutorial on unity and game development”. Having said that, Shishyan quickly says that he is familiar with struggles, “the final hurt my brain…but it wasn’t too bad”. Shishyan continues to recall memories of his time in programming 1, glowing with ambition and curiosity about CS.
So what brings Shishyan to the newsroom? Just as the intro to programming had kindled a fire in Shishyan’s soul, the intro to video production brought a new sense of creativity. “It’s fun…making videos''. It's safe to say that we are all excited about Shishyan and his journey up Mount Everest.
