A Moment With: Julia Nieforth

“High school is about finding who you are, because that’s more important than trying to be someone else.” – Nick Jonas

This interview is a brief and incomplete look at the memories that Julia Nieforth made while in high school. While this may not be everything she experienced during her time at Randolph High School this will hopefully provide future Rams with a better understanding of all that can be learned here.

The Interview: Class of 2010

Q: What was your favorite memory from Randolph High School or your time in Randolph in general?

"Sports: lacrosse and fencing"

Q: Were there any teachers that influenced you while you were in high school? Did they change how you thought or what you planned to do with your life after high school?

"Mrs.Finnell! She didn’t change anything but she supported all of her students to achieve their dream and their dream school."

Q: What activities were you a part of? How did doing those activities (clubs/sports/work/ect.) help you both in high school and out of high school?

"Fencing, lacrosse, band. I learned time management."

Q: If you could tell your high school self one thing you know now what would it be? Why is it important to tell yourself that?

"Everything happens for a reason. There isn’t one path to get to where you want to be there’s thousands. It’s important to tell myself that because I went on a different path then everyone else."

Q: What lessons have you learned since graduating that you otherwise would not know?

"Confidence."

Q: What advice would you give future generations going into high school?

Interview notes:

While high school may seem to pass us by in the blink of an eye it is important to keep in mind just how much we are able to grow during these four short years. There are many life experiences that are vital to our growth and while it may feel like we have not learned a thing, everyone is a far different person than who stepped through those doors the first day of freshman year.

I would like to thank Julia Nieforth for her time that she put into answering these questions. Without the interviews that she and many others have allowed this project would not have been possible to put together. I am grateful to have been given the chance to learn about the past in order to help the future.
