Jacinta '22
Hometown: Mexico City
Groton activities: Model UN, EuroChallenge, Debating Society, Circle Voice, Investment Club, stage manager for three one-act plays
Favorite class: English because I find literature very interesting and am always captivated by the discussions in my class
Most memorable Groton moment: Prize Day. It was a melancholy day because the seniors were leaving, and I was sad to see them go but excited for them at the same time. It was incredible to see the strong friendships I had created throughout the year, not only with seniors but with other students. Because the seniors were leaving, my friends and I bonded over reminiscing some of the memories with our prefects throughout the year. It also reminded us how important our friendships with each other were.
Favorite Dining Hall food: Grilled cheese. Apple crisp is my favorite dessert.

Best of all, the whole month has the spirit of people eagerly waiting for Halloween.Read More -
