Humans of Northwood: Jaron Wilkins ‘24

“My time here at Northwood has been great. I found things I am interested in and would not be doing if I did not come here. Northwood has introduced me to people who will be my friends for life.

“I came to Northwood as a first-year student. I got the wonderful opportunity to come here because my mom has worked here for twenty years. I was not sure if I could like it, but a couple of months into my first year, I loved it.

“I have lived here my whole life. I live in a town nearby called Jay, New York, about a twenty-minute drive. I went to the public school before Northwood.

“I started skiing when I got to Northwood, I enjoy it a lot. I played hockey before but stopped doing it because of my love for skiing. Also, I like music, such as making beats, playing the drums, and computer work.

“Before college, I am considering taking a year off school. I plan to do computer-based stuff like cyber security.

“One thing I would change about Northwood is the dress code because I would like to be comfortable when I work. One of my highlights is just me and my friends skiing and just having fun.”
