Being new to a place, especially in a tight-knit community, can be difficult. No matter where you are, it just takes time. Time to get used to the new place, time to make friends, time to simply adjust. But, after a certain amount of time has passed, you feel comfortable and at home. This makes every little struggle completely worth it, especially when the new community is as special and welcoming as Thacher! It’s the simple, every-day things that constantly remind me of what a wonderful community I have joined: walking down to breakfast with a friend, celebrating a birthday with a munch-out, watching a documentary with a prefect on a lazy Sunday afternoon… It is all these things that make our Thacher community so delightful.
