What is your most memorable experience from WSN?
I was involved in the rock band, video yearbook and theater. My most memorable experience is Mr. Kelly’s videography class because it allowed me to be creative while working towards a more long-term goal such as developing a career.

Please elaborate on your academic experiences after Currey Ingram.
At Currey Ingram, my academic standing improved, and I developed better social skills as well. Before I attended, I never did my homework, and I was very shy. Currey Ingram showed me how to get organized through one-on-one attention from teachers. They also showed me the benefits of actually doing my homework and showed me how homework completion will prepare you for new things coming up. I started developing good homework habits and a better overall work ethic.

What is one piece of advice you would give to current Currey Ingram students and families?
I know many students come through these halls with challenges like mine, and I have a piece of advice for them: don’t give up because that is the worst thing you can do. You have resources here you can use and people who are more than willing to help. This is a very special place and you have more to learn. The advice I have for parents is to be patient and to be supportive. Your children will achieve their goals with the help of this very special place.
