THE BVR STUDENT
Miles Diver ’29 shared, “Tries new things”
I picked “tries new things” because this is important to me. You never know what you love to do until you commit to trying it. This year, I tried a new activity. I do percussion now because I tried something different, and now I am happy I did.
