Thomas Conlon, Staff Writer
Thomas Conlon is a new addition to the Cat’s Eye View family this year. Conlon is a senior here at Becton Regional; although, he did recently move here from Rutherford and is new to the Becton community. On his arrival, Conlon describes the Becton community as "close-knit" and the students and staff to be "welcoming." Nonetheless, Conlon believes that moving from another town to Becton can add a new perspective to our CEV paper! Furthermore, Conlon's goals this year are to join the National Honors Society in the near future, and continue his time on the Becton baseball team as the pitcher. He mentions that he thrives on the pressure baseball creates! In addition, Conlon also enjoys the opportunities Becton provides it's students, as one of his favorites is having the privilege to leave during study. Conlon uses this time to accomplish assignments from school in the comfort of his own home. He also is a fan of Becton's Internship Program, as this is not something offered in Rutherford. This year he is interning at Valley Hospital!  In the future, Conlon is hopeful to be happy in his workplace, and life. He is undecided on where he will attend college, but is interested in going to Rutgers, New Brunswick. Thomas Conlon is ecstatic to be a part of the Cat's Eye  View and cannot wait to see what he can accomplish for our community.
