Cover Story
Matthew Beaman
Grade 9
“I think the greatest thing about living on campus is
being able to live with my brothers in my grade. Always
having a friend around and being able to share all
of my troubles and thoughts with them, I think that
has impacted me the most. Aside from that, I think
managing my own life has the biggest significance
when it comes to dorm life. Having that freedom of
choice and being trusted to make the right decision
to use my time wisely, instead of playing video games,
I think benefits me a lot. When I went home every
day after school, all I wanted to do was watch TV and
play games. Now, however, when I have the freedom
to do that, I no longer want to. Having the freedom
to choose made me make better decisions because I
know that if I make the wrong or a bad decision, it will
be my responsibility and no one but me will pay the
consequences.”
