"As a lifetime Grammar student, I have taken to heart Grammar's pillars of balancing your education between academics, athletics, the arts, and altruism, and have incorporated this philosophy into my everyday life. I train at a high level (about sixteen hours a week), perform academically, and play three instruments throughout the average week," says Simon."The time management skills I have learned to balance my busy schedule will stay with me all my life."
