“I came to Northwood because it’s close by, the hockey is great, and one of my cousins came before me. I knew there was a tight-knit community here, and it was a much better option than going to play anywhere where I had to do online school.
“Over the past year and a half, I have enjoyed every second of my time at Northwood. I have made a lot of lifelong friends and had some great memories. The schoolwork has been challenging, but I enjoy it because it gives me a challenge to face every day. The great thing about Northwood is I have enough time to finish my work, so I never have too much trouble.
“My favorite memory at Northwood so far is going in an airplane for my ADK class. We flew over Lake Placid in a tiny airplane and it was breathtaking to see the land that we live on. I also got to go up with two of my buddies, adding to the coolness.
“After Northwood, I want to continue playing hockey, most likely at the junior level, with the goal of playing college hockey.
“If I could change anything about Northwood, it would probably be the study hall hours. Study hall is helpful, but it stinks because I have been in it my whole time at Northwood. I’m excited about senior privileges this year because they will exempt me from study hall.”
