If I were asked what made my time at ISF most memorable, I would answer without hesitation: the people. Over the last decade, I’ve made a myriad of memories with countless individuals I’m lucky enough to call friends. From senior students, whom I’m lucky to consider mentors, to younger students I’m fortunate to guide and support, these are the relationships that have solidified my unforgettable journey at ISF. And of course, to my peers, who have shared laughter and tears throughout this journey, I am forever grateful to have grown up in such a tight-knit community, one that loves and supports each other through highs and lows. Moreover, it is not only my friends who’ve inspired my growth, but also the teachers and staff who work tirelessly to support the entire ISF community. To them, I express my deep gratitude for their care and dedication.

As a student, I’m grateful for the opportunities ISF has given me to grow holistically and in a well-rounded way. Beyond academics, arts and sports have been central to my student experience. Specifically, my passion for music and theatre flourished through Academy productions and other musical performances. In sports, I will treasure the bonds between my teammates and me. All of these experiences have allowed me to grow not only academically, but also as a person—growth I will continue to pursue in my university studies and future endeavors.

Looking back at the person I was a decade ago, I have grown in ways I could never have imagined.

As I leave this school, I am excited to continue exploring new aspects of myself and to carry on my journey of growth.
