When I visited,  I was matched with a really kind shadow buddy and she introduced me to all of her friends and answered any questions I had. She showed me Crystal's warm environment, which focuses on inclusion and being true to yourself. I knew that regardless of people’s interests, everyone could find a place to belong. In addition, I could feel how much everyone enjoyed school. The students were passionate about learning, and I instantly loved their intellectual curiosity. I could tell that the people at Crystal appreciated knowledge for its own sake, rather than just the grades that came with it. Crystal’s core values, like “engaging with enthusiasm” and “balance,” also resonated with me. Not only could I be in a community that loves learning, but my interests outside of that would also be fostered.
