After returning to the Golden Trout Camp for the second time in four years, I picked up a horseshoe, just as I had my freshman year. However, instead of grabbing the horseshoe awkwardly while trying to remember the names of the fellow freshmen who I was playing with, this time I grabbed it confidently as […]
Spring sports are far and away the most exciting and fun sports of all of the seasons. Granted, I play lacrosse, which takes place in the spring, but many other students voice their liking for spring sports. When the boys lacrosse team has practice on the Upper Field, practice is immediately made far more enjoyable. […]
Today when I went into Ojai, I hopped on the van not knowing what I was really going to do in town. I ran into a couple of seniors on the way, and ended up spending a good chunk of the afternoon with them. When we arrived in town, we took a quick stop at […]
If there’s one thing that I will always remember learning from my Junior year, it is that the world is full of tests. They come in all different varieties ranging from academic to social to emotional. Although many students may immediately attach a negative connotation to the word “test,” I have realized that this attachment […]
At the beginning of this year, directly after preseason, I embarked on a trip to Sequoia with a group of students lead by Mr.Okpalugo and Dr.Delvecchio.

This was my second year on the team and possibly my last, with hopefully a call up to Varsity coming next year (however, this is rather unlikely). Considering that we won a mere 1 game last year, I […]
Thacher was the best choice of the high schools which I considered. Among the others I considered were the likes of Deerfield, Northfield Mount Hermon, Andover, Exeter etc. While looking at these other large institutions, I was impressed by their athletic facilities, dining halls, as well as their student book stores. While all of these […]
Midterms passed a mere 2 weeks ago…MIDTERMS!! It was hard to believe when I heard someone saying “oh yeah, midterms are next week” I was completely astonished that midterms would be so soon. Now they have passed and we are into the second half of the fall trimester. To this point, my classes have been […]
This summer, I spent many hours running and preparing for the upcoming cross country season. This included lots of push-ups and sit-ups when running was not an option (camping trips). I ran in some really cool places including: Sanlúcar, Spain; Southwest harbor, Maine; Northern Maine on the border of Canada, and Newburyport, Massachusetts. Many days […]
