Denial. The one feeling I felt doable. There was no approach that the phrases that simply got here out of that physician’s mouth had been true. I imply, my complete life’s goals and objectives had been primarily based round this small element. There was no approach that I may very well be colorblind. My complete […]
“I can ride my bike with no handlebars, no handlebars, no handlebars” These are the words that I have carefully chosen to be my response when anyone asks me, “what do you plan to do with your life?” A lot of people in my position – high school senior to be – might begin to […]
The snow has melted and that classic New England humidity has just settled in which means two things: My baseball season is in full swing, and Work Camp is approaching! For the past four summers I have had the pleasure of participating in this weeklong camp. Located in a different community in New England each […]
George Bernard Shaw once said, “Success does not consist in never making mistakes but in never making the same one a second time.” I came to this realization by experiencing a moment of impact that reshaped my perspective on life forever. For most people, these moments are influenced by outside forces of awe-inspiring individuals, but […]

Looking back when I first went to summer camp, I realized I was being spoiled at home. I was always the one often needed other people’s help. My cabin members got really frustrated whenever I couldn’t do something by myself. I wished my parents had taught me how to take care of myself. Otherwise, I […]
The first time I realized that I wanted to be an engineer was during my sophomore year of high school while taking a CAD class. I was working on a project where we needed to improve an existing product. Doing this project helped me realize how satisfying it was to research a product, find a […]
Most kids’s first phrases vary from primal grunts to candy mumblings that resemble human names, however my first phrase was “thunder.” From the very starting, I’ve been passionate about the sky and its ever-changing canvas of blues and grays, lotions and milky whites.

I am an aesthetic: I have to admire the impeccably dressed mannequins making their debut in department stores and the contoured lines of that perfect dress.
