“Hello, I’ve been at walkers since seventh grade! I’m a proud Sun! I wanted to be a Cicerone because I am really grateful for the community I found at Walker’s and I would like to help other people find the same!”

What is your favorite class and why?

I really liked my science class because my teacher made it really fun and interesting, plus she was always available when I needed extra help.

What is a unique experience you’ve had at Walker’s that you didn’t think you’d be involved in when arriving at Walker’s?

I never thought that I would be performing in the acapella group.

What is your favorite part of your typical day at Walker’s? What do you look forward to every day?

I look forward to going to the art room to work on my project and homework.

What is your favorite part about being a boarder?

I like that all of my teachers are on campus and that I can get extra help very easily.

What advice would you give to an incoming Walker’s student?

I would tell them not to worry too much about making friends and getting to know people.

What do you think is the biggest benefit of attending school at Walker’s?

I think the biggest benefit in attending Walker’s is being surrounded with both academic and emotional support. Most of the adults at Walker’s have supported me endlessly and I continue to grow with their guidance.

How do you feel you have grown (academically, emotionally, mentally) since your first day at Walker’s?

I have become more in tune with my relationships with people. I’ve learned how to manage my time effectively. As well as become more confident in approaching new people.

How do you think Walker’s has prepared you for your future?

Walker’s has made me more confident and sure of myself. Its also taught me to focus on myself more.

What is your favorite thing to do in your free time?

I like to go to any on campus weekend activities on the weekend. I also like hanging out with my roommate on weekdays.
