The day I stepped on campus for the first time, I just had that gut feeling that I was meant to be here. I was right. I've grown so much with the help of my peers, coaches, and all the staff I've gotten the privilege to learn from. Everyone just greeted me with such a warm welcome and I instantly fit in like a piece of a puzzle. Not only was I welcomed into the community, but I was also given so many opportunities to flourish. I have participated in Winter Track, Football, Movie Club, New England Club, D.E.C.A, Math Peer Tutors, Cubby Cares, C.A.T, NHS, and even Robotics. The amount of options were endless and I chose to make the most of that. I have even learned the sense of community which I think is Austin's most prominent quality. My favorite community events are going to sports games and community meetings because I get to see so many new faces and members of my community. Austin Prep has taught me to be my best version of a leader, a friend, a student, and an athlete.
