These past four years at Spanish River have been eclectic. When I first stepped foot in River’s hallways, I would have never envisioned the life I have lived while being here.

As a freshman, all I focused on was survival. Surviving the transition. Surviving the friendship drama. Surviving the unfamiliar college-level material. Surviving the pandemic. Surviving amid a student body who was only looking out for themselves. And I did.

In initially seeking an elective that would offer me relief from a rigorous schedule I found my passion for writing. Simple creative exercises led to me joining The Galleon during my sophomore year, where I thrived.
