Catari Giglio, Fenway High, Boston, 2020

When Catari Giglio was a junior at Boston’s West Roxbury Academy, the School Department announced that they were going to close the high school. She and her classmates were told they’d have to transfer for their senior year, piling more chaos onto an already stressful time. But in the face of disappointment, Catari felt something ignite inside her: a fighting instinct. Her college essay shares how she pushed back against what she thought was an unfair decision, discovering a new passion in the process.

After High School

Catari attended Suffolk University. She started out as a political science major, but switched to graphic design her sophomore year.
