家乡: 亨普斯特德，纽约
 
易胜博app安卓下载活动: Chamber Choir, Rocket Club, Gospel Choir, Maqupellas, Tabletop Gaming, Ukulele Club
 
Most surprising when you first arrived at Groton: Seeing how quickly everyone got along with each other. 团队建设练习很有趣, but what really made it for me was hanging out in the mall that first night, 听好听的音乐, 打乒乓球, 遇见未来的朋友.
 
最喜欢的类: Probably Math or Latin because as you go on with each course, they become like a puzzle. 给你一个问题/翻译, 你被赋予了这样做的技能, 但这一切都取决于你自己, 有十亿种方法可以做到这一点.

最难忘的易胜博app安卓下载时刻: 我高三的10月19日. It was a Saturday Open Mic Night with some stellar performances. There was dance, rapping, pop, rock, soul, everything you could ask for. Then all the Third Form boys rushed back to the TV in the mall, where we watched Jose Altuve hit a walk-off home run against the Yankees. We placed bets on every at-bat, put our arms around each other, and held our breath with each pitch. 只是一个社区和乐趣的美好夜晚.
 
最喜欢的食堂食物: 什锦饭和煎饼
 
最喜欢学习的地方: The bubbles on the top floor of the Schoolhouse

    刚刚过去的周六晚上是一个特别的夜晚, as the Circle saw the return of Open Mic Nights, which we haven’t seen for quite a few weeks. This was by far the most unique out of any I’ve seen during my time here at Groton. 第一次, there was a magic act where Lebone Matthews performed a series of card tricks that left the crowd in awe. We also had some of the student songwriters perform, 奎迪·贝拉米, 格里芬艾略特, and Georgia Martin all shared incredible original songs. Creed specifically performed a song she wrote called “Stockholm Syndrome,” which especially moved me. 最重要的是, we witnessed a true musical masterpiece as Stephen Pang, 约翰尼的粉丝, and Jiacheng Kang sang the Pokémon theme song while all dressed as the main character, 灰凯彻姆. 一场经久不衰的表演.

    That night was also my return to the Open Mic stage, as I had not participated in almost two years. The feeling of just being up there in front of the school made my day. I did a little bit that Freddy Mercury used to do, 在那里他会唱“哎呦?,，然后让人群重复. 集体, we made the Forum as loud as it’s ever been, and nostalgic teachers whipped out their phones and recorded it. I then went on to sing Queen’s “You’re my Best Friend.” The energy in the Schoolhouse that night was amazing to experience.

    这就是我喜欢开放麦克风之夜的原因. The music performed is truly on another level. It's crazy how talented people are, and most of the participants aren’t even in choir! You don’t have to be the greatest singer in the world to get a huge round of applause–and more importantly, 玩得开心. 从表演者的角度来看, you don't feel the same stress that you do when singing in a more formal concert. 也, seeing the joy on people’s faces with each new song is something that will live with you forever.

  • 为什么不试试:壁球

    This winter was my first time playing squash competitively. To be honest, I was incredibly nervous going in. Groton has an amazing squash program, coming in first place last year in Division III Nationals. I was also told this year that the thirds team was especially deep this season, 所以我很难开始. Despite this, I was determined to give it a shot.

    在来易胜博app安卓下载之前, I had only played once or twice with friends, who were privileged enough to have access to squash courts. 是时候选择一项冬季运动了, 我在打篮球之间左右为难, 我的主要冬季运动, 和南瓜. I sat down with my dad, who knew that I loved both sports but was more talented at basketball. 他后来告诉我的, 我一直都能打篮球, 而是因为壁球很容易接近, I might only be able to play it like this a few times. 他在长岛提到过, 我住的地方, the only places where I can play squash are country clubs. 因为我是非裔美国人, I admitted that my chances of playing at such an establishment were small. So I decided to seize the opportunity and join Groton thirds squash.

    This season has been full of ups and downs but overall has been great. Squash is such a fun sport, and everyone on the team is so supportive of one another. I started out very high on the ladder, being placed in the third spot out of around fourteen players. One day, I took a hard fall after some terrible challenge matches, sliding down to the ninth spot. 即使事情看起来不是最好的, and I stopped getting placed in the starting lineup for a bit, 我一直在努力. I went into the courts on weekends to work on my rails and drop shots; I kept challenging myself by competing with players better than me and have even moved back up into the lineup.

    赛季还剩下一个星期. 三场比赛，都在客场. I can’t wait to suit up in red, white, and black again with my team. I couldn’t be happier with how this season has been, and I am so glad I decided to try something new: I’m glad I decided to play squash.

  • 夏天三明治

    I’m going to make a weird analogy: my summer was a sandwich. 奇怪的对吧? 好吧, it’s a sandwich in that I spent time with my friends at the beginning and the end of the summer, and I gave myself time in the middle just for myself and exploring my interests.
