Who was your most influential teacher and why?
Ms. Willing was definitely the most influential teacher I had. I had the opportunity to have her as both an advisor and a teacher. She was always there for me and helped me with any problem I had.
What was your favorite class and why?
My favorite class was Psychology of Madness because I am interested in studying psychology in college and this class was a good base for my future. I also was really interested in each topic we learned throughout the year which made the class more enjoyable.
What was your most memorable experience at Shipley?
My most memorable experience at Shipley was Acorns to Oaks because I was an Acorn for three years in Lower School and it was a very fun and full circle moment to be an Oak this year. I loved being able to come back to the Lower School as a Mighty Oak and reminisce on my years at Shipley.
