Our only Day Student panelist, Mike Zetlan was a day student from Andover who didn’t act like a day student. He immersed himself into everything on campus during his time at PA, because, after all, “You have to put in some effort.”
As many of us have stated, PA was the place where people saw Mike for who he was and got him for who he was. A place where being smart and working hard were admired, it was a revelation for Mike to find out that the kids who got 6’s in class were “kinda cool.”
Curiosity and resilience are the two biggest takeaways Mike has from his time at Andover.
Working in the non-profit world, Mike thinks about Non Sibi all the time. I’ll let Mike tell his story of the comfort given to him just by being on campus during a horrible time our Senior year.
As Mike said, the things PA afforded us were incredible. And, like many of us have said, college was not that hard.
