"I've learned a lot [since the end of eighth grade]. I've gained a lot of lessons and learned a lot about responsiblity and about really needing to depend on yourself if you want to go somewhere. An example [for me] is taking Jazz. In middle school for music classes I remember you could just slack off...

“I've always been a very passionate person towards other people. You know, a thing I want to do is surround myself with people. When I'm older, I want to be a teacher. Because I love talking to people. I love teaching new information to people and telling them new stuff and helping others out. S...

"What I want to do before the end of high school is learn french fluently and go to france by myself without my family. It’d be fun to live with another family if I were to go. My brother did this when he was in high school and he said it was a really great and fun experience. I’m taking french right now a...

"Scuba diving is what made me first get into marine biology. I went scuba diving for the first time in Lake Michigan. First, we had to put tons of gear on. We had to waddle across the road, go down some steps, and then walk into the lake. It was really cold, but my first breath underwater was really su...

"I took an anthropology class freshman year, as a way to just try something I'd never learned about before. I'd never even heard of it - but now I'm majoring in it. I'm pre-med, but I feel like it's so important to learn about people, and be able to make those connections. I want to go into primary care,...

“I don’t know [what my dream job would be]. It would probably be something that would help humanity go forwards, and a big interest of mine is space settlement: getting humanity to the planets, the stars, stuff like that. Right now there isn’t really that much demand for putting people in space,...

"[The move to Boston] was a 13-hour drive and my dad was in a U-Haul truck separate from me, my mom, and my sister in a little Pontiac Vibe which is not suitable for that kind of driving. I also remember my mom go really road sick. I think we had just passed the Michigan border and my mom threw up into...

“I worked at the Humane Society for a while. You [would] go into the dog section of the Humane Society and you would get to give them treats and give them walks, let them play with you, [and] let them cuddle you for an hour at a time. I did it freshman and sophomore year. [When] I was in 6th grade...

“[Happiest moment of the school year?] Probably, at the end of ‘Into the Woods,’ on the last night, the last number on stage, I was crying on stage. It wasn’t bad crying. It was happy crying— almost a rush of relief. Relief that just everything was okay and that everything was going to be okay...

“I was in a Pacman game, and I don’t even know how I got there. I was being chased by Pacman, and I was super freaked out. The game transitioned over to a Sonic Hedgehog game for some reason. I was just like, okay.”

“It involves cars. I think I had a dream for years that my college boyfriend, who broke up with me in a sad, sad way, was in a car. I don’t know, it was just always leaving, and I could never get back. Even like ten years later there’d be that car leaving in a dream, and I’d be like, ‘I don’t...

"I lived in Germany my freshman year. It was good and bad. I went to a really privileged school where I was really isolated. It was in a very wealthy part of Berlin, and I remember in German class one day we learned about all the underprivileged impoverished parts of the city, and that really opened my...

Where the grey carpet met the corkboard flooring was where I learned to love. Not knowing the full capabilities of a Jack and Jill style bathroom, my brother and I waited patiently. The rule was clear. When the first number on the clock turned to a seven the reins were released and we were set free into my parents’ room. It looked like Christmas Day, but sounded like the Kentucky Derby. I was never...
