I attended the Beacon School, one of New York City's most competitive public high schools. The experience was both stressful and inspiring.
Briefly

The Beacon School, known for its competitive nature, offers a unique curriculum that challenges and inspires students. The author reflects on the high expectations set by both teachers and peers, which has encouraged them to excel. The fierce competition among classmates has created an environment where all students strive for success, leading to collective growth and achievement. As the author transitions to McGill University, they carry the confidence and resilience gained from their Beacon experience, emphasizing the importance of such formative educational settings for all students.
The end of each school day assured me that I could and would master challenging concepts.
These students would have been successful no matter where they ended up but put them all together, and you get graduating classes whose ideas, passions, and futures have been molded.
