Is there a teacher who made a big impact on you?

Freshman year, when I had just gotten to a strange environment and was used to speaking a very different language, Shantel helped me tremendously. She supported me in English class and outside the classroom, too. I could always go talk to her and feel reassured that I would get through any difficulties.

What lessons have you learned on a team?

I have been playing tennis for more than seven years and am on the varsity girls’ tennis team. It has made me realize the importance of being a team player and taught me how to support my teammates.

What is it like to live in a dorm?

Living in the dorm means learning how to compromise and build friendships. I have always gotten along with my roommates, and I feel lucky to have them, as we are there to support each other.
