Day Student

Involvement: Varsity soccer, Varsity Swim, Varsity Lacrosse, WAB, and Athlete Mental Health.

I arrived at Walker’s going into my freshman year. Being a Cicerone is important to be because I get to interact with possible incoming families and to show off all that Walkers has to offer. Also, being a leader on campus has enhanced my confidence and has allowed me the opportunity to be the best version of myself I can be.”

 


What is your favorite class and why?

My favorite class is English!

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 I would be on the swim team and try something new!

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

My favorite part about a typical day at Walker’s is sitting at breakfast preparing for the day laughing and enjoying my time with my friends.

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

Become a part of as much as you can handle. Meeting new people and trying new clubs and sports allows you to make new friends, but also maybe pick up things you enjoy doing!

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

The interactions with teachers and staff who actually want you to excel in every and any way. Also, the college preparation in teaching you worldly skills and requirements that the school expects us to do before graduating.

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

I have grown academically by being pushed into good habits and self discipline. Emotionally I have been put in tough positions but always had a blanket of people to be there for me always.

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

I think that Walker’s has prepared me for my future by installing organization skills in me as well as making me feel comfortable in who my authentic self is. This has grown my confidence and make me feel that I can tackle anything the world gives me because, I have been shown how people supporting me can push me to becoming
strong, and independent.

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

Sit in the SOC with my friends and laugh and talk, or just sitting with each other studying. As long as we are in each others presence we feel at home.
