Feature: Sophie spent the best times of her summer in Scotland for a student program at St. Andrews. From that experience, she formed friendships with kids around the world. She found they were enthusiastic about learning and traveling to America. As a result, she thinks Academy would benefit from more foreign exchange students. Despite her fun, she still holds that American food is best, especially compared to Scottish food. Back in school, she got to kick off her soccer season in Crew’s Stadium, which she said was, “nerve-racking because you really want to do well in there.” She believes the new block system is a nice way to balance classes and homework, especially for a student athlete. On the new skirt policy Krings states, “Its not so bad, but I’d still like to have my own choice in what I would wear.”
