Who was your most influential teacher and why?
Tom Farr was the most influential teacher because his wisdom and positive attitude helped me keep a clear head all through high school.
 
What was your favorite class and why?
Macroeconomics was my favorite class during my senior year because it gave me an introduction to the curriculum at Saint Joseph's.
 
What was your most memorable experience at Shipley?
I believe that our 4th Grade play was my most memorable experience. It highlights our ability to come together and work hard towards a performance.

Reflections about Shipley:
I walked in at the age of four and I realized that I would stand out more than any other student. At the age of 18, now I see from all these years that I am no different than my peers. I will cherish my years at Shipley because I am prepared to engage with people from all walks of life.
 
I am grateful for the education that I received over a span of 14 years. My 14 years at Shipley cannot compare to the 4-6 years at Saint Joseph's that I will walk into in August. Nonetheless, Shipley molded me and I cannot believe it took me this long to figure it out. Shipley gave me an extensive education. I will remember every part of Shipley from 2007 to 2021. The other best part of completing a 14-year journey is knowing I am a second-generation Gravely who graduated from Shipley.
