Being with Stamford the past two years has definitely shaped how I approach academic learning. Stamford has an encouraging and supporting nature, which has helped me stay disciplined and thus reach my goals.

I was involved with the Boys’ High School football team, the investment club, and the GK Stamford club. These clubs/activities helped me to remember that Stamford is more than just a place to learn — it is also a place to meet new people, learn about non-traditional school material and to help others that are less privileged.

What I will miss most about SAIS is definitely my friends! I will, in fact, also miss the international environment Stamford has, where diversity and cross-cultural friendships is appreciated.

I am Indonesian and moved to Singapore in the fifth grade. Initially, I was placed in the English as an Additional Language (EAL) program, where I learned how to better communicate with classmates and teachers. I found EAL to be an opportunity to learn about the concept of belonging by interacting with others who were going through the same journey.

During my years at Stamford American, I sought opportunities to connect with others through sports, musicals, and clubs. I participated in various sports teams and learned the importance of cooperation, discipline, and perseverance. These qualities helped me prepare for my future and graduation. I plan to attend Syracuse University to study political science and law.

I believe that Stamford American has become an important part of my academic life and that the memories I have with friends and teachers will stay with me in college.
