In Their Own Words
It is not everyday that a student can walk out of the courtroom and onto the stage, but thanks to Lake Ridge Academy, I have been given that opportunity. In the past year, I have had the honor to be an attorney for our Mock Trial program as well as the lead male actor in David and Lisa and How to Succeed in Business without Really Trying. Our Mock Trial team not only won the State Title, but we were ranked as the 13th best Mock Trial team in the entire nation. In addition, our fall play, David and Lisa, was honored with a full performance at the State Thespian Conference, which was an especially rare privilege for a school’s only year of participation in the Thespian Society.
However, Lake Ridge Academy doesn’t just shine outside of the classroom. Our teachers are one of our most important assets at Lake Ridge Academy, and I can say with confidence that the level of work that is done under the watch of these caring mentors is unmatched by any other school. We are willingly pushed to our limits by these teachers, and they in turn are encouraged to mold us because of the result of their hard labor: the people that walk out our doors with a diploma.
It’s been said that the students that graduate from Lake Ridge Academy have ‘something special’ about them, a warm personality and commitment to changing the world for the better. Thanks to our donors’ support, I was able to join their ranks and graduate from this fine school. I was given unmatched opportunities by Lake Ridge Academy, and it is because of this school and your support that I am who I am today.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your commitment to supporting the Lake Ridge Academy experience.
Sincerely,
Zachary Sweebe ‘08
