Favorite memory or experience?  It’s impossible to name one favorite experience from my Fieldston years. I loved the darkroom where we developed our own photos. I recall the thrill of journalism class with Bob Montera, reading the Old and New Testament with Dr. Howard, Fitzgerald/Hemingway/Faulkner with Mr Hubner. Mostly I remember how encouraged I was to be curious, to try and even to fail and learn from it.

Favorite memory or experience? Maura Furfey (who still teaches Spanish today) introduced me to the idea of a gap year, and I never looked back. Thanks to Ms. Furfey's care and confidence in her students, I chose to take a year off of school at a time when few friends did. Spending so much time far away from both my home and comfort zone has helped shape the person I've become. Fieldston as a whole pushes us to think outside of our natural four walls, fostering an interest in the other and Ms. Furfey handed me the keys to engage that curiosity. 

Why are you a FAN of Fieldston? Fieldston walks the delicate line of providing a nurturing environment while challenging us to think critically about the world around us.  The ability to continue this mission beyond senior year with a diverse group of Fieldston alum serves as a reminder of the wonderful community in my corner and we wish to instill that same feeling with our fellow Eagles.
