A little about me: Hello, I’m Aditya – I’m from Monroe and am excited to be a mentor this year. I look forward to meeting everyone! I enjoy playing soccer, listening to The Weeknd, and watching Marvel movies. I hope that you’ll enjoy this school — including all the people you’ll meet — and that you’ll take advantage of all the opportunities you’ll be provided with. In truth, it can initially be quite difficult and challenging, but with the support of your friends and upperclassmen, you’ll be able to navigate through the school. It is important to understand it’ll take time to find your passions — I didn’t even play on our school soccer team my freshman year, and after giving it a shot in my sophomore year, it has become one of my favorite activities. As a senior mentor, you can count on me to give you valuable advice to help you see our school beyond just the academics it provides — the relationships you can build with people and the ways you can explore all of your different passions, even if they aren’t related to medicine or science. Welcome to the Academy!
