1.) What was the best thing that happened to you in boarding school?
I went to boarding school solely for athletics, but I left boarding school as a less one-dimensional person. I continued my athletic career in college, but became a more rounded person due to my boarding school experience, and I wouldn't change it for anything in the world.
2.) What might you have done differently during your boarding school experience?
I would have gone to boarding school at a later point in my high school career.

Nothing.

Proctor is an amazing school, there isn't anything I could think of to change it.

I enjoyed every academic aspect of my school.
