What I’m Doing Now
Updated October 26, 2022
The first quarter is now complete! It’s amazing to think that I’m now only 7 months away from officially graduating high school. The school year has been great so far. I’ve done well in all my classes and have kept up my tennis and extra curricular activities as well. It’s also been great to have my brother Shane join me at Hendricken. On the college front, I just recently applied Early Decision to my top choice, Boston College. I’ve been on the campus several times and absolutely love the energy and everything it stands for. Fingers crossed that I can get in!! I should know in the upcoming six weeks…

I’m now a rising senior, and I’m looking forward to a productive summer that includes; learning, community service, work, tennis and fun times with my family. This summer also marks the beginning of my college application journey, filled with writing essays and figuring out what schools I want to apply to. I’m excited to get the most out of these next couple of months, with a good mix of hard work and fun memories!
