“I am from New Jersey, but every winter weekend since I was 8 years old, I have spent my time skiing at Whiteface. I chose Northwood because of the NYSEF/Northwood pipeline and because it offered me new experiences. I enjoy living with my friends and the community; It has given me many treasured relationships. When COVID was not a thing, I loved school meetings, but this year I love the amount of time people spend outside. I am choosing between going to the University of Utah or taking a gap year. If I took a gap year, I’m thinking about WWOOF–ing (Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms) or traveling.  I will definitely miss the community the most.”
