Humans of Northwood: Alessandro Lacchi ‘25

“I am from Rome, Italy, and I traveled around Northern Italy to ski before coming to Northwood. I decided to go to Northwood to learn English and have the opportunity to train a lot in skiing. So far, my favorite parts of Northwood have been the ski team, the training, and the people I have met.

“The school has been great at helping the skiers since we miss a lot of school. I feel very supported by my teachers, and they want to see me succeed. So far, at Northwood, my English has improved a lot. I am grateful for this opportunity to learn English as it is a very useful language to know. I like going to the gym and playing chess. My rating is around 600 right now, which is pretty good. I also like resting and taking time for myself: reading books, watching series, etc.”

“A piece of advice I would give to an incoming Northwood student is enjoy your time here and don’t take any of it for granted.”
