As a senior who’s been going to Masters since the sixth grade, I’ve spent a lot of time recently reflecting on the things I wish I’d experienced at school, and some things which I still aim to do before graduation.
Coming in after Covid, I remember sitting down and writing a list of things I wanted to do in my first year back. I don’t have that original list, but I do have a new one. There are still a lot of things that I want to do at Masters; giving my senior speech, passing on my club to the next leaders, and getting my mother (English teacher Miram Emery) to hand me my diploma are all things that I’ve been looking forward to since my first day at Masters.
Every other senior also has things they want to do before donning white and walking the graduation stage at Masters.
Clara Nalle ‘24 said something similar: “My dream is to make it to the very top of Estherwood like the boys did in sixth grade.”
Willa Hart ‘24, said “I want to learn how to play an instrument with Mr. Ebersole, I want to take at least one class.”
Christina Moore ‘24 said, “Before I graduate I want to find out whether the third floor of Estherwood is truly haunted or not. I really want to meet Eliza Bailey Masters.”
But, seniors aren’t the only ones who have bucket lists, even the freshmen in their first days of high school have things they know they want to do.
David Morris ‘27 mentioned wanting to be on the varsity track team, while Nini Murigande ‘27 said, “Mine would be having a good GPA, trying at least three new things, and making new friends.”
Henry Frasca ‘27, said “To perform a song I’m working on and break a school track record.” At Masters, every single person has a different aspiration and dream to complete at school.
Between freshman and senior, the other grades also have plenty of goals to live up to. John Teodorczuk ‘25, said “I probably would want to create some sort of new innovation in the dining hall. Some sort of new combination, like a new drink, some sort of contribution to that.”
What’s on your bucket list?
