The Class of 2020

Your message to the Nightingale Class of 2020:
I am so lucky to know this group of incredibly talented and unique individuals. You continue to push me to grow and change and step out of my comfort zone. You helped me learn so much about myself during my time at Nightingale. You all have taught me confidence, resilience, drive, and so many other important qualities. Being surrounded by such wonderful and inspiring people every day has made me the person I am today and I can’t thank the Class of 2020 enough for that. I know you all will do great things and I can’t wait to hear all about it.

How has Nightingale educated both your heart and mind?
At Nightingale, teachers are there for you both academically and personally, striving to help you succeed both in and out of the classroom. I am so lucky to have had such incredible teachers for the past 13 years and am excited to take what they have taught me into college and beyond!

Highlight of your time at Nightingale:
The highlight during my four years at Nightingale was studying in the library with my friends. This time combined all of my favorite aspects of Nightingale: the people, the place, and the learning.

What would you tell your younger Nightingale self?
I would tell my younger self to take as many risks as possible by joining and new club or sport outside of your comfort zone. Nightingale has so much to offer, but what you get out of it totally depends on what you put in.

How have truth, friendship and loyalty been a part of your time at Nightingale?
Truth, friendship, and loyalty have been the three fundamental values most important to my time at Nightingale.

How has Nightingale educated both your heart and mind?
The academics have been beyond anything I would have expected.

Favorite quote/personal motto:
"Opportunities don't happen. You create them."
