“It means a lot to be a Raider. I have been here since I was little, and every year, we always promote our athletes. For example, I’m on the varsity basketball team, so I get a lot of support from our school and faculty that gives me motivation to do better.

I chose Gulliver because it has the best balance of sports and academics in South Florida, maybe top in the country. Some of the best facilities, great teachers, and some of the best programs available. For example, if you want to do art, you can specialize in art. If you want to do business, you specialize in business. There’s so many different options for what you want to do.

My favorite memory from Gulliver was in 8th grade with my basketball teammates when we won our championship. I did not expect us to win at all, and then we ended up winning. And it was just the best memory I have, having Gulliver on my chest and representing our school in a great way. It was really, really special for me and my teammates, and we wouldn’t have done it anywhere but Gulliver.

At Gulliver, I learned lessons of hard work and having a lot of integrity. And wearing the Gulliver logo on the daily makes you want to work hard. You have so many people behind you, and being able to have your name attached to such a great brand is truly an honor for me.”
