How have truth, friendship and loyalty been a part of your time at Nightingale?

Nightingale has taught to care about the people around you. It doesn't matter who they are. Teacher, acquaintance, or friend, everyone should be able to talk to you, and you should be able to talk to you.

What would you tell your younger Nightingale self?
Don't be afraid to try new things. Don't be afraid to reach out to upperclassmen and faculty for help or advice. Don't be afraid to be you and take advantage of all the amazing resources Nightingale provides. You'll be supported by the entire Nightingale community through all your endeavours.
How have truth, friendship and loyalty been a part of your time at Nightingale?
Friendship and loyalty have both heavily impacted my time at Nightingale. Every day, I find myself surrounded by amazing, supportive, and loyal friends who help me with everything from homework to life advice. I now realize how lucky I've been to have spent my last four years with such a unique and strong class that loves and celebrates each other. The Class of 2020 has such a special connection, and that's why I am confident that these traits will carry on with us when we leave and go beyond the blue doors.
