Having attended four schools in three years, Alex Whittemore applied to Andover while living in Roanoke, Virginia. Placed into Hall House in Abbot with only five other juniors, Alex did not have the typical Rockwell start to PA.
As several other of our classmates have said, Alex gave credit to Tommy Lyons with incredible impact on his education, begin a force of nature on four legs.
Like many of us, Alex thought of college as a bit of a let down after we all grew up together, including being young and being idiots together. Luckily, the statute of limitations has run on some of the antics discussed, including one of deep dorm honor.
Fending for ourselves on many levels, he acknowledged our growth, which however it happens, it’s a good that it did. Getting along with lots of different people and remaining intellectually curious are life skills learned at PA.
At a crossroads, Alex is asking himself “What do I want to do now?” Like many of us, he is still trying to figure that out.
