About Me:

Hello, my name is Ishaan and I’m from Edison. Congratulations on your acceptance into the Academy! This school can be challenging at first; I certainly felt that way when I started. The pace is fast, the expectations are high, and it can be difficult to find your footing. Over time, I’ve learned to embrace those challenges, grow from my experiences, and truly make the most of what this school has to offer. High school is not only a time for academic growth, but also for self-discovery. I truly believe these four years are meant to help you figure out what excites you, reorient your goals, and explore as many opportunities as possible, whether academically, mentally, or personally. It is okay to not have everything figured out right away. Take things one step at a time, and focus on learning as much as you can. Use the resources around you, ask questions, and connect with people who have gone through this before. Everyone here wants to see you succeed, and you are more capable than you think. If you ever feel unsure or overwhelmed, I’m always here to help. I can’t wait to meet you all!
