Hi, my name is Sydney and I live in Bayside, Wisconsin. I will be a junior at University School of Milwaukee this fall. I am involved in cross country and I look forward to it every August. This fall will be my sixth season of cross country, however it will be my second season at University School. Last year I was a new sophomore and not only was I new to the school, I was new to the state. While most teens would take awhile to fit in, I immediately felt comfortable at USM. I made new friends on the cross country team along with friends in my classes. Students here are not afraid to introduce themselves to anyone new. This aspect was a positive way for me to start my experience at USM.
I grew to love my new friends so much that I didn’t want to leave them come summer. I went up north for seven weeks and got a job there this summer. While this was a great experience it is great to be back in Bayside. I am working on my summer reading and hanging out with friends to bring an end to this summer. Overall, I am looking forward to being a junior this fall.
