Congratulations to my graduating Class of 2026! 🎓🎉 I am fortunate to work with some incredibly ambitious and talented young adults, and it was an honor to support them through this chapter of their lives.
I encourage students to aim high, not because every student will get into a highly selective college, but because the process of applying demands something most 17-year-olds have never been asked to do: articulate who they are, what they value, and what they want to contribute to the world.
Yes, we have moments of joy and celebration, but also of heartbreak, tears, and eventual acceptance, all of which I strive to be present for. My role, at its core, is simple: to be a mirror. I reflect back the beauty, the imperfections, and the stories that are undeniably theirs, so that kids can, often for the first time, truly see themselves.
Students who go through that process, even with the inevitable rejections, come out the other side with a clearer picture of who they are and the courage to share it with the world. That clarity is worth more than any acceptance letter.
These are the colleges my students will attend in the fall. It’s just a list, but there is a life behind each one.
