Fondest Memory from MFS: Whenever I see my Lower School teachers, but I remember my preschool teacher retired a few years ago and I went over to the Lower School to say goodbye to her, and it was just nice to have that. For me and for her. For her to see me when I was in 10th grade and for me to see her after 13 years. We’d had a friendship throughout those 13 years, but it was just nice to see how we’d both changed, but how we can still keep that student-teacher connection.

Most Important Thing You Learned at MFS: Not to sound like a cliche, but I’d say whatever you put into something you’ll get out of it. That really holds true here.

What You’ll Miss Most: All the connections. All my brothers go here and everyone just knows each other. I remember sitting with Noah (Rubenstein) when I was in third grade. I remember  different hair styles. Every connection that you make is just so personal. It’s all different, but so personal. Everything relationship you form is just really special. I really don’t wanna never talk to any of my friends again. I really think that I’ll stay in contact with all these people.

What You’ll Miss Least: (after struggling to come up with something critical) I guess I’ll say the traffic.
