Interview of Mr. Cantatore

Maddy S

 

 

Mr. Cantatore  

Question 1: Give us a sketch of your life. 

 

Mr. C: I had attended catholic school from kindergarten to twelfth grade and I went to Aquinas for high school. After high school all of my friends were attending their 4-year schools and I knew that I didn’t really want to do that. I knew since I was about 6 years old that I had always wanted to be a Disney character in the park. I had a vhs tape of a Disney sing-along and my brother and I watched it so many times through that the sides on the screen began to fade. I went on a family trip when I was a little older and I was on Main Street waiting for the fireworks to start and I decided that it was what I wanted to do. So, I worked at Disney World for 3 years and it was great. I eventually went back to college and changed my major from education to business, but I decided that it wasn’t for me and I didn’t like it. So, I eventually went back to grad school for education and now I’m here. 

 

Question 2: Why did you decide to become a teacher? 

 

Mr. C: Well, I wanted to be a teacher from the time I was in high school, I had an amazing junior year English teacher and that experience just really inspired me to be interested in the subject. I’ve also always enjoyed reading and I loved the Harry Potter books and I think that also really helped inspire my love of literature. So yeah, that’s really the reasons why. 

 

Question 3: Why did you want to work at Wheatland? 

 

Mr. C: Well, it was a bit of a difficult situation, I came in the capacity of knowing it was a long-term subbing job after the passing of Mrs. Jackett. I knew at the interview that she had passed, and I felt the loss when I came in. However, I also felt compelled to be there for this school and the students specifically, I really felt the loss of the people in this community and I just truly knew that I was the one to take on the task and I felt as though I was up to that tall task of taking on that role and being there for the people here. 

 

Question 4: What other schools have you worked at? How many? 

 

Mr. C: I have worked at Gates-Chili for a little while, I taught at Brockport, and I was a sub at Penfield for a couple of weeks. It was like intermittent subbing. 

 

Question 5: Give me a surprising fact about you. 

 

Mr. C: Some people know this, but I am the front man for the 80’s cover band The Breakfast Club. 

 

Question 6: Give us some of your interests – sports, music, etc. 

 

Mr. C: Well, I love a good Netflix binge and I’m always looking for new, interesting shows to watch. I also obviously love sports, especially the post season play off games. Um, I like video games, especially Nintendo, and oh! I like reading in my leisure time, which is usually in the summer.

  The Man in the Mirror    By: Madeline Reid   The chilly air blowing in through the open window wakes me, brushing my hair into my face and wetting my skin with the morning dew . Letting out a breathy sigh I open my eyes and sit up. Stretching my arms out above my head I let out a yawn before peeling the warm covers off my body and letting the chilly air hit it. Stumbling around the room I grab a few random pieces of clothing that lay in a myriad of places around the bedroom. I slowly pull on the loose shirt and jeans and make my way over to the large vanity that sits in the corner of the room. Without looking in the mirror I pull the few makeup items from their places and place them on the vanity . When I look up, I gasp in surprise as I make eye contact with a pair of bright sea-green eyes , that appear to be just as surprised as I am. Taking in the face the eyes belong to I take notice of the strong roman nose that is just slightly crooked, t he thick reddish...
