What are you involved in at CA?
At CA, I am involved in many of our clubs and sports teams. Some of my favorites include the track and field team, our Model UN club, and our Mock Trial team (which I am a co-head of).
Why did you choose CA?
As someone who wanted to go to a boarding school from a young age, I knew that CA was right for me because of the freedom it offers students, especially those in the boarding program. From extended campus to the commuter rail into Boston, I have been able to find myself and my independence. Additionally, CA’s wide curriculum offers me a great opportunity to explore my interests and discover new ones.
What is your favorite boarding memory or tradition?
My favorite boarding tradition is monthly birthday cakes in the Stu-Fac. It's always a nice treat after study hall, and most boarding students attend, making it a fun bonding event for the boarding community.
Advice to prospective students?
Don’t be afraid to take risks and be yourself. As someone who was relatively shy before coming here, I have truly found myself and broken down my walls during my time at CA.
Share a moment where you knew you belonged at CA.
A moment I knew I belonged at CA was during freshman fall, when I was talking to my heads of house and found out they both also liked aviation. I got to show them the plane models I had in my room, and it remained a common topic of conversation for the rest of the year. It helped me to realize that there were people who had similar interests.
