How was your impression of your time at CIA?
CIA was a great school where I had a lot of fun and created many happy memories. I met numerous friends whom I still maintain contact with today. A lot about the school has changed since I graduated back in 2014, but I still cherish the years, from gathering with friends to study for final exams to competing in intramural sports and participating with my fellow classmates in the yearly Prep Rallies. The school instilled in me self-discipline and organizational skills that I continue to apply to my daily life and career to this day
