GRADUATES' REFLECTIONS Ilija Wann-Simm ’19 “Because of the resources and opportunities available here, I am a student with a purpose. That’s what makes the school unique. The students that come out of this school are people with a myriad of interests who share one commonality: we care more about what we can contribute to the world than we what we can take out of it. That’s why I applied here. That’s why I am excited to come to school every day.” Calliste Skouras ’19 “Each and every teacher is enthusiastic about what they teach, creating an environment where students are excited to learn. Even more impressive, however, is that the teachers genuinely care about their students’ successes, not just in their class, but in all of the students’ endeavors, whether they be academic, athletic or artistic.” Mia Tellechea-Choi ’19 “Not only have I learned a great deal in each subject but RE has also instilled important values in me. I know these lessons will continue making me an active member in my community and stay with me forever. I have been challenged in ways that have allowed me to grow both as a person and a student. I have also received countless opportunities to explore my passions and even find new ones both in and outside of the classroom. ” FALL 2019 Ransom Everglades LOG 51
