Mr. September – Rocco Nuzzo
If you had to pick anyone beside yourself to win, who would it be?
I wish everybody except for me could win. But I would pick PJ Micciche, he is so humble and nice to everybody. He represents Washington Township greatly.
What are your future plans?
My future plans include going to RCSJ for the first two years of college, then transferring to Rowan or Stockton. I will be majoring in English throughout these years while getting certified to be a teacher. When I graduate, I will be a teacher for at least 3 years, then go back to college to become a guidance counselor.
What was your memorable high school experience?
Most of my memorable experiences are involved in an amazing friend group. But in school had to be all the senior football games, especially when Jo Silver would score.
If you could give one piece of advice to underclassmen, what would it be
The one piece I would give to the underclassmen is, BE YOU! No one else can fill your shoes expect for yourself. You control your own future and no one else, no matter what people think. Join that club you’ve been meaning to; ask that person you’ve liked for so long to hoco or prom. Four years fly by faster than you think.
Why do you best represent Washington Township?
I best represent Washington Township because I love everyone. Most of Mr. Strout’s mottos include loving everybody and making people days better. I have love for everyone. I try to be nice and make people laugh to make them feel better.
What TV show or Movie character are you most like?
The TV character I relate to the most is Mordecai from Regular Show. I just feel like him, I don’t know how to describe it. He listens to music all the time, slacking from work, and hanging with his bro Rigby. I see myself in him.

If you could only listen to one album for the rest of your life, what would it be?
The one album I could listen to for the rest of my life would have to be Veteran by JPEGMAFIA. Easily my favorite album of all time. The production feels like it is from the future, and the album is such a unique and creative array of sounds. All of his lyrics are so thought provoking on tracks like “Rainbow Six” and “DD Form 114”. The production on “Baby I’m Bleeding” and “Thug Tears” blow my mind every listen. The album feels like you are in the middle of a heated political debate while observing all the opinions. I could live with this album forever.
If you could give yourself one superpower, what would it be?
It would be all the powers Spiderman has. You have no idea how many times I wanted to walk on walls and sling webs.
If you were stranded on an island what are three things you would bring with you to survive?
A good outfit, my phone, and water.
Most inspiring teacher that had an impact on you?
It would honestly have to be Mrs. Molotsky. She is one of the main reasons I want to be an English teacher. She is the smartest teacher I have ever learned from. Honorable mentions to Mr. Hart, Mr. Mitchell, Mrs. Halicks, and Ms. Mason.
Most embarrassing moment?
Freshman year I got up to go to the bathroom during the John Mulaney/Pete Davidson comedy show in the IBPAC. He almost immediately called me out and made fun of me in front of a sold-out auditorium. I also sat in the front row, so I had to walk all the way up the isle…and back down
Favorite subject?
English.
If you could create a class to add to our school, what would it be?
I would add more focus to a music production class. Because I took one and I already knew everything and was bored.
If you had to spontaneously give a 20-minute presentation, what would it be on?
I’d probably give it on the album “Some Rap Songs” by Earl Sweatshirt. I could talk about that album for hours.
Dream car?
Benz E40
If you could visit one foreign country, what would it be?
Japan, such beautiful scenery.
If you could only live in one place for the rest of your life, where would it be?
I would probably live in Stone Harbor. I love the beach and that town has so many great attractions and food places. It is also super relaxing every time I go down.
What’s your hidden talent?
Producing and making music with friends.
If you can change lives with someone for a day, who would it be?
I would probably change lives with Kanye West. His life is nothing but crazy and lives on top of the world. I just want to feel as creative as he is for one day.
If you won a million dollars, what would you spend it on?
I would save $800,000 of it. fix my car and save the rest for college… is what I would say if I was lame. I would buy a new house brand new rolls Royce and a bunch of NFTs of monkeys.
Which charity did you choose?
I am choosing the Prostate Cancer Foundation. I am choosing this because last year my dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer. I want to help him, and others with this condition as much as possible. This means a lot to me.
