Most memorable experience at UW so far - non rowing
Going to any UW sporting event and cheering on the new D1 athlete friends I made.
Most memorable experience at UW so far - rowing
Racing in the 1F at Head of the Lake was the greatest experience. The training throughout the year with the Triathlon and running Mt. Si were also very memorable.
What defines your class? What gives it identity?
Positive attitude. Trust among one another.
What is your classes strength?
We respect one another, looking at the faults in ourselves before considering placing blame on each other. This respect allows us to respect one another, similarly to how we've learned to respect ourselves.
What is the most humorous moment of the year so far?
It was a cold day in winter. The wind had picked and the waves began to engulf the boat. The boat slowly filled with water as we desperately rowed for land, but alas we swamped and had to be saved by Sergio. He saved our lives that day. He taught us to not be soft. There were many humurous jokes that accompanied this monumental day.
