Everyone tells high schoolers that high school flies by. No kid takes that seriously though, that’s until they experience it.
High school is some of the best memories I have had in my life, whether it is playing sports with my friends, talking with my friends, and joking and working on projects and assignments.
Brother Rice has a lot of opportunities for everyone. I was able to be involved in multiple sports at Brother Rice.
The first sport I played was soccer. Soccer was fun and I got to meet new people. My senior year, the team advanced to the super sectionals. This was a huge deal because it hasn’t been done in 20 years.
The second sport I played was baseball. I played my freshman and sophomore year, but I still have those friends even though I do not play. They were some very fun and great memories.
The third sport I played was rugby. My senior year was my first year ever playing. I wish I played it sooner because of how much fun I had.
I recommend to everyone that they take the risk and go outside of their comfort zone. It could be the best decision someone can make. I know it was for me.
After all I have learned at Rice, I am continuing my education at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I decided on this school because I want to pursue nursing and they have a phenomenal program.
I am excited to start a new chapter of my life, but also sad that Brother Rice is ending. I know I will always have these memories and I will cherish them.
