2016-2017 Avatar Intro: Emma Reed

Whenever I post a picture to social media about Gatton I use the hashtag #tggadventure. This stands for The Great Gatton Adventure. It’s true to call our time here at Gatton an adventure. From figuring out how to grocery shop for the first time to surviving the infamous CPS, we experience plenty of ups and downs here. Despite every down, I wouldn’t trade this place for the world. As someone who went to a large high school, the community at Gatton was a big adjustment. Living in a place full of unique and enigmatic people. It was great to meet people who wanted to know your name and life story.

Speaking of life stories **wink wink**, my name is Emma Reed. I attended Highlands High School in Fort Thomas, Kentucky. At Gatton, I have taken the infinite possibilities motto very seriously. From participating in Speech and Debate and Yearbook, to traveling abroad in Italy, I have filled my days with a variety of activities both academic and nonacademic alike. I also fill my days with STEM+ Chinese and other academic classes.  In my first semester, I discovered that I like computer science and now am developing a game that encourages young girls to pursue coding. I also enjoy biology and medicine. For me Gatton is a place to explore my passions to the greatest extent. I am excited to share with you about the goings on at Gatton as we kick off what is sure to be the best year yet.
