“Humanity’s greatest downfall is probably not working together. Because obviously there’s a ton of war over things that don’t really make sense. Like religion -- we fight over religion. We fight over oil, and stuff. And we don’t need to fight. I don’t know why we fight over that type of stuff. If I could change one thing about the world...maybe people being afraid of things they don’t know of. Like the way some people are afraid of different religions because they don’t know anything about the religion but what they’ve heard of. It makes them afraid even though they don’t need to be afraid because they haven’t had any experience with it.” -Kaelan B. (sophomore) ... See MoreSee Less

“I’ve learned that you have to stay committed to whatever it is you want to be. Stick with what you want to do, whatever is your passion, and be patient. People around me have been stressed out to the point where they lose focus and lose a grasp of their goals. You can't just start off thinking you are the best at what you do, people need to be willing to learn and get better. It's the only way.” Chris Jordan ‘19 ... See MoreSee Less

“What I will miss most about TA is probably being able to see some of my closest friends every day. It'll be hard not to be able to see them all. I'll miss it a lot. I'll miss seeing friends like my buddies Spencer and Michael. Yeah, we will all be keeping in touch, but it'll harder keeping touch with friends who supported you all your life and now college is coming to separate 3 super close friends. That's what I'll miss most about TA.” Noah C. ‘17 ... See MoreSee Less

“I would’ve been going to a relatively large high school in Indiana, roughly the same size as TA if I hadn't moved to Maine. It was just a public school. I knew like maybe six people at that high school, but other than that I didn’t know many people. So it wasn’t very different from what I was gonna be doing, I just knew nobody here. My advice to other new kids? You will meet new people in your classes or extra-curricular activities, like clubs, sports, or theater. Try to join clubs to try to find people with similar interests as you do...
I’ve, relatively speaking, done a decent amount of traveling. I’ve been on at least two planes every year since after fourth grade. Somewhere between two and four bare minimum every year. Sometimes more, sometimes less, it really depends. I’ve done lots of traveling and I think it has influenced me as a person, for better or worse I guess we’ll have to find out. Plane rides are less scary than you think...I think the scariest part for me honestly is not taking off, or being in the air,is actually, and I say scary lightly, is landing because you’re going really fast and it’s very bumpy, and it’s like, ok we’re slowing down, a lot. Also, take gum.” Matt B. (Freshman) ... See MoreSee Less
