An Update from Hannah's Suite

Today we asked each other, “What has been your favorite thing about the summer so far?” We all responded, “That’s too hard!” After racking our brains for a while, we could not narrow everything down and only choose one thing. We have been having so much fun living in our suite at Juilliard, experiencing life as working adults, and seeing all of the sights of New York. We have done so many amazing things already, and it is just one week into the program!

Many of our highlights have been classic tourism, such as visiting the top of the Empire State Building or eating at Magnolia Bakery. It is exciting to go to these must-see places while we’re living in NYC. However, the events that are not on the calendar are just as exciting and are becoming the most memorable. Living in the dorms allows us to get to know one another and bond on a new level. Our suite quickly became our home-away-from-home where we are comfortable sharing how our days have been, showing off new clothes from a recent shopping trip, setting goals, or even having a dance party.

As we look forward and anticipate all of the fun activities for the rest of our time here, we feel very lucky we get to do all of these things. We also know that some of our favorite parts of Career Explorations are going to not be events at all, but the time we spend with each other and the family we have built here!
