As the Huskies settle in from the holiday break, students are grateful for the time they spent at home, all around the world.
Mark Tverskoy ’26 went all the way home to Russia for his holiday break. When asked about how his break was, he said, “It was so nice to be able to go home and just relax. I really missed my family, and there is nothing like a good home-cooked meal.” About starting the second semester and what his goals were, he said, “I am ready to start the second semester and get back into the rhythm I had before break. It did feel really short, but I am excited for this semester, and my goal is to make the most of my senior year!”
Joachim Neverdal ’26 went home to New Jersey for his holiday break. “It was nice being home. Sleeping in my own bed felt amazing, and I was just glad to be back,” he said. He was then asked about what he did over the break. “I celebrated Christmas with my family and just relaxed, sleeping in and lying around all day was amazing. However, I felt ready to return to school, and I am happy to be back. I am really excited for my last semester of high school,” Neverdal said.
“Believe it or not, the weather actually was not super nice,” said Henry Kress ’26 when asked about going home to California. “It was nice to escape the freezing temperatures and the snow, but it was cloudy and rained pretty much the whole time I was home.” He then went on to say, “I just spent time with my friends and family, and I couldn’t ask for anything better. It was so nice to see some of my hometown friends, whom I haven’t been able to hang out with in a while, and it’s always nice to celebrate Christmas with my family.”
