特雷的21

家乡: 路易斯维尔,肯塔基州

易胜博app安卓下载活动: 男子曲棍球队队长, 护卫护卫头, 年轻的共和党人, 承认完美, 通讯完美, 朋辈辅导员, 圈子讨论委员会

Most surprising when you first arrived at Groton: 来自当时的一个小, 阿拉斯加的农场小镇, I had no idea what boarding school life was going to be like. I was an outsider—an Air Force brat with a mild fishing addiction—so when I showed up on campus, the sheer diversity and inclusivity of the student body blew me away. Now—after two years on the Circle—my closest friends come from across the globe, and while I will always be an Alaskan, I’m equally proud to be a Grotonian too.

最喜欢的类: 夫人. 华莱士在美国的长期选修课.S. 外交政策非常棒. With a focus on diplomacy in the Philippines, 越南, 和伊拉克, she brought the history to life and coached us on everything from negotiation to geopolitical strategy. She invited experts from around the earth—ambassadors, 退伍军人, and journalists—to speak to our class and introduced us to the wild world of international relations.

最难忘的易胜博app安卓下载时刻: 在去年的冰球季后赛中, Tilton scored four goals on us in four minutes, 还有看台上的球迷们, an early exit from the tournament seemed imminent. 然而, 我们永不放弃, and slowly we chipped away at Tilton’s lead until we evened the score at 4–4 in the third period. At this point, the building was electric! 学生们跳上跳下. 板凳上的球员都在大喊大叫. You could just feel the excitement mounting, and when one of our defensemen launched a puck into the back of the net, 竞技场爆发了. It was so loud that we nearly knocked the roof off the O’Brien Rink. We would go on to win the game 6–4 and advance to the semifinals, but that game was the highlight of my time at Groton. 我为我的团队感到骄傲!

最喜欢的食堂食物: The Philly cheesesteak/waffle fry combo is unmatched!

最喜欢学习的地方: I love the outdoors, so the benches in front of the Schoolhouse are my go-to spot. 从这里可以看到圆形广场. John’s Chapel, and Hundred House, the benches have one of the best vantage points on campus.

    The Fine Art of Making Repeated Left Turns

    跑者取你的分数...... set ...... pop! I explode from my starting blocks at the crack of the pistol, counting my steps as I lurch forward. 1、2、3、4、5、6、7……跳. 只有回形针那么高, I clear the first 39″ hurdle and whip my trail leg over the bar—eyeing the finish line 97m away. 当我的右脚着地时, I break into a three-step sprint before reaching the next hurdle and repeating my hop-sprint pattern. Eight more hurdles later, I cross the finish line with an ambitious lean forward. Stopwatch in hand, Coach yells, “16 flat!” I jog off the track—flashing a grin to my friends—and begin preparing for my next race.

    狭义相对论

    在我的现代物理课上. 今年春天的大厅, 我们思考过量子理论, 粒子物理, 原子模型, but as Prize Day creeps ever closer, the subject of special relativity has proven a fitting metaphor for the Sixth Form experience.

  • 装饰宿舍

    When I first arrived at Groton in the Fourth Form, I had no clue how to organize my dorm room. Besides an Alaskan flag and a framed family photo, I hadn’t brought anything else to campus except the necessities–bedding, 一盏灯, 衣服, 等.–so as time went on, I became more interested in filling up the blank space on my walls.

    兄弟连

    Ben Franklin once wrote, “Out of adversity comes opportunity.这句话简洁优雅. Tribulation gives us a chance to learn–to grow–and with the right attitude, challenge can feel far more rewarding than discouraging.

    飞逝的坠落

    今天是一月二日, 2021, and as I prepare to type my first 易胜博体育app下载 article in quite some time, I can’t help but wonder where the days have gone. 我的六年级时光飞逝而过. 如果要我指指点点, 我会怪我的大学论文, which have diverted so much of my energy and attention over the last several months. When I submitted my final application a few days ago, relief washed over me like a hot shower on a cold day. 这种感觉是自由的. 但话虽如此, those same essays have taken me away from 易胜博体育app下载, and I thought that a quick recap of the fall term would be a great way to return to blogging. 让我们开始吧!

    189天

    几个月前，我还在看 《本杰明·巴顿奇案 with my brother, and one of Ben’s quotes really stuck with me. About halfway through the film, he remarks: “It’s a funny thing about coming home. 闻起来一样. 看起来一样. 感觉一样. You realize what’s really changed is you. . .”

  • 《美国奥德赛》

    当我弟弟, Braxton, and I were driving to Louisville a few weeks ago, a song came through the stereo that triggered some serious nostalgia. 成长的过程中, 我们最喜欢的电影之一是《易胜博体育app下载》, and during Lightning McQueen’s road trip montage, a Rascal Flatts song carries him from one end of the country to the other. Perhaps at no other point in my life have the lyrics been more appropriate: “Life is a highway / I want to ride it all night long.”

  • 离开最后的边疆

    Pioneer Peak is the prettiest mountain in the world.

    Now, I understand; that’s a bold claim to make. 有像马特洪峰这样的山脉, 乞力马扎罗, 德纳里峰, 珠穆朗玛峰, 和富士都在争夺这个头衔, 人们肯定会忽略6,398-foot peak nestled in the Chugach Mountains. 然而，我的理由如下:
