What is your favorite memory/(memories) from FYHS/HTC/Kayitz:

Most memories were related to basketball because that's mostly what I spent my time doing. Though I did really enjoy playing softball as well. Obviously, my favorite memory was the Kohney shot! The games and rivalries with the Academy were always big. 

We also had such a great camaraderie with the guys. We were in the Yeshiva a lot during the day and spent a lot of time in the dorms. Such special times hanging out with friends.

Please share a lesson/takeaway from your time at FYHS/HTC/Kayitz:

Focus on something, work hard, and good things come. The Yeshiva taught me to completely immerse myself in something and go for it.

Advice for current students:

Take advantage of the opportunity and the time you are there. Enjoy it!
