“I came to Northwood for the ski program and the culture, and because I already had friends who attended, I wanted to go to school with them and be around them all the time. Before coming to Northwood, I did the Winter Term program at Whiteface, which is where you ski for NYSEF and do online school during the winter. This led me to want to come to Northwood.
“Northwood has made me more mature and confident in myself and my abilities. Throughout the three years I’ve been here, I have learned a lot about myself and the people around me, and that is something that I have cherished. Northwood has improved my academic and athletic ability.
“I don’t have a specific Northwood memory, but every time I hang out with my friends, it is a memory that I cherish. Every weekend of races, team trips, or Northwood events, I make sure to relish every moment because I know the fun times won’t last forever.
“After Northwood, I want to take a gap year to ski or go to college to ski. I don’t know my plan, but I know my future has skiing in it.
“One piece of advice I would give to an incoming Northwood student is to branch out and talk to people outside of your cohort. Just because you are on a team with someone, doesn’t mean you have to spend all your time with them. Everyone at Northwood has a different story, and sometimes it’s fun to learn more about other people.”
