After only attending Hawken School for two years I was able to see a huge change in not only academics but my social life and confidence as well. This was really nice as I am about to go off to college and social skills are really important. One thing that never really set well with me is how it is difficult for other students to realize not everyone comes from a privileged background. This led me to feel left out and left behind simply because of my socioeconomic status which is never okay. This can be changed by taking students on trips to help the less fortunate and let them see how others may live that are not nearly as privileged.
