“去保利预科学校我最喜欢的一点是,我发现了一群不可思议的人,他们希望看到我成功,关心我的未来,” Hallie Stephenson ’20. “保利的导师们给了我信心,激励我去追求我一开始不确定的东西. Poly truly allows people to find a great group of friends. You will hardly meet anyone who does not want to befriend you; rarely anyone is unkind. Coming from other schools where cliques reign, this school is refreshing, as it allows for people to find their place. Poly has prepared me for the future. I took classes that are similar in rigor to college classes. 我已经学会了不再拖延,做好准备去完成交给我的任何工作. I am positive that compared to most schools, 保利在学术方面给了我最坚韧的皮肤,教会我如何在我的教育目标中承受和超越.”
Here’s what English teacher Christy Hutchcraft 不得不说 Hallie Stephenson ‘20: “At 17 years old, Hallie has written a full-length play, dozens of short stories and nonfiction texts, 一系列的诗, and she is currently at work on her first novel. Much of this work was done during her free time, outside the requirements of her regular academic workload. Hallie breathes words and language, 她会第一个告诉你,当她动笔,让她的想象力发挥作用时,她就是最好的自己.” Hutchcraft said Hallie has excelled in her English courses, enthusiastically enrolled in AP courses, as well as the Creative Writing elective. 她花了大三的时间精心制作和修改她的短篇小说, as well as studying one of her favorite authors, 牙买加金凯, during an independent study on fiction. 她也是创意写作俱乐部的一名充满活力、忠诚的成员.这不仅仅是克里斯蒂的观点:哈莉在2020年的学术写作中获得了金钥匙 & 艺术奖.
