As I stared up at the night sky that overlooked the gorgeous view we had of the upper fields I had never felt more thankful. That night, Ms. Merlini, our dorm head, took all the girls in Middle School up to the outdoor chapel at 9:30. At first, we were all very tired and the […]
Junior year is underway, and I could not feel any better. The freedoms and responsibilities that have come with becoming an upperclassmen have made this first month one of the best I’ve had here. I have enjoyed the privileges that come with being a year older, like being able to choose where I want to […]
So, here we are at the end of another Thacher year. A highlight of the end of the school year is always the dorm banquet, when all prefects, students, teachers, and advisors associated with the dorm gather to celebrate the year. This year, the girls’ banquets fell on a Monday. That night, we all assembled […]
The time when all the prospective students come by Thacher to see if it is the right choice for them or not. I did not take a “second visit”, as these are called, since I live in Hong Kong. But from what I have seen, these visits were instrumental in deciding whether to come to […]
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 […]
So it is the new year! 2013! It is so strange to actually be in the year of my graduation, but there is no better time for me to make a New Year’s Resolution!! My resolution for the rest of my year at Thacher is to experience it all. I want to finish this year […]
Run more. Go to the gym. Eat better. Drink less coffee. Get more sleep. We all have those New Years’ Resolutions we make on December 31st and ones that slowly dissolve into nothingness by January 5th or 6th. Here at Thacher, commitment and hard work are two big cornerstones of life, as Mr. […]
This has by far been my favorite trimester at Thacher. I loved running cross-country. Being part of a team that could only achieve when we work together is so special. However, my favorite part of this trimester was living in the dorm. My trailer’s name is “Doc” and I could have never imagined how much […]
I cannot believe it’s been a month since that September 1st morning. I almost couldn’t speak I was so nervous, and now I couldn’t picture myself anywhere else! Once I got settled in, it was like I had gone to Thacher my whole life. My favorite part has to be dorm life. This year, the […]
I cannot quite comprehend how fast the time has flown. It seemed, not long ago, I was only a small freshman saddling up Sal, ready for an afternoon of learning and riding. But here I am, starting my senior year already. So far, it’s been pretty sweet. This year I am living in the Courts […]
