Over the course of the past four years, I’ve realized that Thayer was the perfect fit for me. I just can't picture myself anywhere else. I just couldn't be happier. Teachers are really there for you and supportive. It feels like a second home to me. 

I always had a strong connection with all my teachers, and they were always so willing to meet with me. If they didn’t have time, we would meet over lunch. 

Pre-Med and Biology. 

I’ve always wanted to be a doctor.  I was able to participate in the Independent Science Research (ISR) course over the summer even though it didn’t fit into my schedule during the year. I investigated an invasive green crab species in Cohasset Harbor.

My counselor helped me the most with my writing. She really edited my essays and supplements, which was really helpful. She provided some great insight.

I would say AP Language & Composition with Ms. Hayman. Learning how to write persuasive essays was really tough. She was probably one of my harder teachers, too. Everyone ended up doing so well on the AP exam. But, when you're in it, it's brutal. Looking back, she's a great teacher. I was so glad to take that class.

I really liked Into the Wild. We read that in Crossing Borders with Mr. King.

AP Calculus. Mr. Cedrone got us so pumped to take the AP exam, I  actually was looking forward to taking it. He had so much faith in us. I looked forward to going to math class, even though it was last period on a Friday. I never looked at the clock. It  felt like it went by fast. Mr. Cedrone is really responsible for that. He created an environment where I really wanted to go and learn. I never dreaded math.

I always tried to be the perfect student and always tried to get A's. It created a lot of pressure and disappointment if I didn't do that well. Learning from your failures is really important. Nobody’s perfect. Just do the best you can and stay true to yourself.
