What are you involved in at 海角视频?
I am a member of the varsity soccer, basketball, and baseball teams, which I have participated in during each athletic season during my time at 海角视频. Additionally, I play bass guitar for the Jazz Workshop and Vocal Jazz and Pop Ensemble. I love to dip my feet in everything 海角视频 has to offer, because the freedom of choice in terms of extracurriculars helps students find their passions.
Why did you choose 海角视频?
I chose 海角视频 because of how easy it is to engage in each of my interests, no matter how different they may be. Coming into high school, I wasn鈥檛 sure whether or not I could continue music and sports at the same time. However, it soon became clear that with 海角视频鈥檚 strong value of well-roundedness, I would be able to pursue a variety of activities throughout the entire school year. As I have progressed through my time as a student, I have only discovered more opportunities to try new things, with the full support of student and faculty communities.
Advice to prospective students?
My advice to prospective students is to enjoy each step of your journey. I often find myself anticipating the future, and in turn, not appreciating the moment I am in. Since I learned this lesson, I strive to be more present and engaged every day, and I think that it is valuable to practice this early on.
Share a moment where you knew you belonged at 海角视频:
This past basketball season, a moment that made me feel extremely at home in 海角视频 was during our end-of-season team dinner. During this shared meal, I looked around and reflected on the sense of brotherhood my teammates and I had fostered during our time together. Whether during a tough practice or after a win or a tough loss, my peers had always stuck together and supported another. To conclude this dinner, our senior captains shared a speech about their time and growth on the team, and both shed tears as they spoke. This reveals how comfortable and expressive this small community within 海角视频 was, and I felt extremely grateful to be valued and seen by my captains.
What is your favorite activity at 海角视频 and why?
Currently, my favorite pastime is playing hacky sack with friends during my free periods. Due to the sudden resurrection of this 鈥渟port鈥 in high schools across the country, the 海角视频 community has certainly embraced the trend, as I find small hacky sack circles across campus each day. I love how each circle welcomes students to join and play along with open arms, and some groups even hold more competitive sessions to challenge themselves as a team. It has become a great way to spend time outdoors with friends, or even just to pass time during school breaks.
