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 Q2 (Queer and Questioning) club.
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.
