Definitely chemistry and calculus with Ms. McGurn and Mr. Cedrone. They’re just awesome teachers. They really get you to want to learn the information, and they got me excited for their classes.

I’m going to Bowdoin and will study pre-med. I’ll probably major in biology or math.

Thayer taught me to advocate for myself. For me to do better I would have to see teachers and get extra help—everything’s not just given to me. It taught me to be more independent and get done what I need to get done.

Community. Everyone’s very supportive and wants you to do your best.

AP Latin. It was so much information. I had to start studying days before a test. It took a lot of effort, and I’m glad I took it. I learned what to do in a challenging situation.

Step out of your comfort zone, and try new things. But don’t overwhelm yourself by doing everything. Start with one or two clubs or activities.

We won the New England championship in cross-country for the first time my sophomore year. That was a great experience to share with my teammates.

I have four brothers, ages 3, 5, 18 and 21.
