HOMETOWN: New York City, NY
GRADE ENTERED D-E:  8th Grade

WHY DID YOU CHOOSE D-E? When looking for a high school that was the best fit for me, Dwight Englewood stood out to me since it seemed like an inclusive environment. The students that I talked to all were super friendly and wanted to get to know me. None of the other schools I looked at made me feel as if I could fit in so effortlessly as Dwight Englewood did. Also, D-E has an incredible campus with so many playing fields and athletic options. This appeals to me a student, since I do not like being in one building for the whole day, and as a athlete, since I do not have to travel far for practices and games. 
WHAT ACTIVITIES ARE YOU INVOLVED IN?: I am on the Girls’ Lacrosse Team as well as the Tennis Team. Within the school day, I am an active member of CODES, Puzzles Club, and this year, I have played a role in creating two new clubs: Memory Keepers, a club intended for raising awareness about Alzheimers and DE-stress, a designated time for relaxation and stress reducing activities. WHAT DO YOU ENJOY THE MOST ABOUT D-E? I love having so many options in classes, activities, clubs and sports. I am the kind of person who wants to try everything and at D-E, I can really do that. There is always something for someone, and if there already isn’t a club or an activity centered around your passion, you can always turn that passion a club or an activity.
