The most unique quality of Thayer is the relationship between students and teachers. I’m proud to say that I’ve built a family here, and I will always carry it with me! 

I will attend Boston College and major in Economics. I’m also interested in Film Studies and hope to participate in extracurricular activities regarding film.  

Ms. Hayman’s AP English Language and Composition challenged me quite a bit. She taught us the mindset and methods of writing rather than simply putting pen on paper.  

Most people don’t know that I am a huge movie fanatic! I love Star Wars and The Avengers, and I hope to work in the industry someday! Thayer gave me this love for movies through its unique film studies class.  

Thayer prepares you for the little things in life that make a big difference. For example, Thayer taught me how to set up a meeting, how to write an email, and how to communicate effectively.

Tom Brady is my inspiration. To be the 199th pick and then be the GOAT, that’s some hard work right there. Keep the rings coming! 

I was having difficulties in Precalculus, and Ms. Clifford was always willing to help! I went to her office so many times, and she was always there to explain the difficult concepts to me.  

I was blessed to have Ms. Brennan Hall as my college counselor. Boston College has been my absolute dream school since age 4, and Ms. Brennan Hall helped me every step on the way — even during the COVID-19 pandemic.   

It has to be Chef Doug’s excellent pasta with meatballs.  

Through this difficult year I’ve learned that we all come together during difficult times, and together we persevere. I have also learned that there is always another way.  

My favorite Thayer memory has to be playing against the teachers in the Hoops for Haiti Basketball Tournament. It was even fun to “talk trash” to some of the teachers! 

Simply put, it’s a blessing to be part of the Thayer community. I will never forget the people who brought me to where I am today.
