What are you up to? When I was in 7th grade I was physically bullied and ended up missing all of 7th and most of 8th grade. During that time, I spent my days working with the students in the special education classroom as I was unable to read or write from the traumatic brain injury I sustained.
I am a full believer that the students I met in that classroom cured me. Their positivity and happiness kept me going to strive to get better.
This classroom is dedicated to those students so I can give them the happiness that they gave me over 6 years ago. I hope to have this classroom all put together before I head off to college in August! How'd you get here? I have been a resident of Watertown all my life and have loved every second of being a part of the Watertown Public School community. This club raised thousands of dollars for Relay for Life which focused on cancer research. I love to get involved in community service which is why choosing my senior capstone was an easy choice.
What are your goals? My goals in the future are creating an outdoor handicap accessible classroom at WHS for everyone to enjoy. If you could tell your high school self one thing, what would it be? I also just started a full-time position at Travelers Insurance in Hartford, CT working in the claims department. I have also been very fortunate to work with a start up company Tauruseer, a Risk Management Platform, for this Spring semester.
After my high school career was in the books, it was a rough road of working countless hours. I wasn't interested in going to college right after high school, so I moved to Florida in and worked for a home improvement company loading trucks at Raymond's Building Supply Company. The long physical hours put a big toll on my body, physically and mentally, and I knew that this was not where I wanted to be.
