Ani’s interview is part of an ongoing thebirdonfire endeavor to present the graduating seniors of the PVS Class of ’22.

My brother, Hambik Madanyan, might be a little…strange. Some think he’s funny; some think he’s loud, and some just can’t figure him out. What goes on inside that strange brain? I think my brother is suffering from senioritis. Let’s get to know him better… 

Hambik, how would you describe yourself?

“As a very outgoing and happy person.”

What’s your favorite thing about high school? What are you going to miss the most from high school?

“My favorite thing about school is the people I’ve encountered and all the relationships I’ve formed here at PVS. I’m going to miss my friends the most. Though I haven’t been here for a while, I feel like I am right where I belong.”

What’s your favorite thing to do when you’re bored?

“I usually just play games, watch shows, and talk to my friends.”

What’s your favorite class/subject?

“My favorite class is biology because I like how it challenges me.”

What’s your dream university?

“UCLA!”

Sounds like Hambik has a pretty boring life…Let’s ask the juicy questions…

Hambik, who’s the funniest friend in your group?

“The queen–Sarah Habibipour.”

What do you fear the most, and why?

“Failure because I hate not being able to finish something I started.”

What was the last lie you told?

Hambik seems to be stuttering here…Let’s ask him again. HAMBIK…when was the last time you lied? (my mom’s in the room…. this is about to be crazy)

“I haven’t told any lies today-uh.”

Hambik, is this the lie?

“No response.”

I’ll take that as a yes.

Anyways, let’s get back to the basics. What’s your favorite sport?

“Basketball or golf.”

What’s your favorite food ever?

“Hot wings.”

He didn’t seem to stutter.

What’s your biggest pet peeve?

“When people think they’re better than you.”

Ani: YOU ARE LITERALLY LIKE THAT!

Hambik: “But I hate when others do it.”

Strange…

Hambik… What‘s the most embarrassing thing you’ve ever done?

“Where do we start? Um, probably when I ripped my pants in front of the whole school.”

Interesting.

Final question, are you happy or sad to be leaving PVS? Are you scared of college?

“I’m both happy and sad. I’m happy because I’m moving onto new experiences. But I’m sad because I have to leave the old ones behind.” 

Wow. What a boring life. Just kidding. I think my brother has . . . potential.
