Dear Admissions Committee,

I am a fifteen-year-old boy who is supposed to describe three qualities and my experiences with them in my life. I haven’t really lived long enough on this so-called place earth compared to my sixty-three year old english teacher, so we will see how this goes. Throughout my life I have found that working hard makes you satisfied , overcoming failure makes you try harder and being resilient helps you cope with trauma. These aspects of life are most important to me and I try to live them out everyday.

The AL east is the best division in baseball. This past season all four teams except the Orioles were in playoff contention. All of the teams are very different, but very good.

After the injury of Ronald Acuña Jr the Braves best player. They lost all hope of making the playoffs, they had a losing record and after the all star break they put their foot to the gas and played fenomenal all the way until the end of the season winning the NL central. They were playing the Brewers in the first round, a favorite team this year.  After a hard fought series they pulled away winning the series 3-1 and moving on to the ALCS facing a powerful Los Angeles team. The Dodgers were a very strong team this year and they were projected to win the World Series. The Braves and Dodgers were batting back and forth and finally they pulled away winning 4-2 moving on to the  World Series for the first time since 1995 26 years ago.

After the tough series against the Astros the Red Sox will hopefully make some changes this offseason. Considering that J.D Martinez and Kyle Shwarber are both free agents, they are going to have to pick and sign one of them for the 2022 season. I think that they should pick Shwarber, he was consistently better in the playoffs and he is an overall better hitter and fielder than J.D. He would make a great addition for the team this year.

The Power of Community

How Community Helped me Through my First Year at Fenn

A small act of kindness can have a very large impact in someone else

~ Christan Taylor

The importance of community is everything. Fenn’s welcoming community helped me through my first year at a new school. When I was a little nine year old boy who didn’t know a single person at a new school. The community made me feel like I was a part of the community after the first day.

The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian

Exploring Friendship, Poverty, and a Good Read.

Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together.

~Woodrow Wilson

This morning, I was looking through my pant pockets and I found a ten-dollar bill. I was psyched and thought to myself, how am I going to use this money? Maybe some new clothes? Dunkin’ doughnuts? Or some candy? Kids like Junior, the main character in the novel we are reading in English class, would have been happy with just a quarter. The book The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian written by Sherman Alexie, explores the impact of poverty and friendship on a teenage boy living on an Indian Reservation in Spokane, Washington.
