Humans of Northwood: Ben White ’26

“I came from Chatham, New Jersey, hearing about this school last year. I learned there was a freestyle ski team at Northwood, and I was very excited to join and attend this private school.

“When I came to this school at the beginning of this year, everyone was very welcoming. I was able to meet a lot of new friends and people. I saw the great amount of school spirit everyone showed, and the transition from Fusion Academy wasn’t too bad, either, thanks to everyone here.

“Something I have to say is to keep taking small steps, and you’ll end up in a place you’re happy in. Just keep on moving, meeting new people, and work to keep your goals in sight, and get good grades. If you keep these objectives in mind, everything will work out.

“When I leave Northwood, my goal is to get into electrical engineering. Then, after getting my degree, my goal is to become a quantitative analyst at a good firm and get pretty good money. But right now, I am going to become a postgraduate and ski for an extra year before leaving for university.”
