Meet Northwest Alum ‘22 Shoshana: “Hi, my name is Shoshana Rosen and I graduated from Northwest in 2022. I’m currently a sophomore at Washington University in St. Louis studying architecture.
Something I loved about Northwest was the family-like community, especially surrounding sports and the arts programs. Some of my fondest memories looking back are energy-filled fan nights cheering for and being cheered on by my peers - it was a really special experience of support.
While architecture is not something I was exposed to in high school, I really credit Northwest for developing my critical thinking by encouraging me to always think beyond an answer and dig into the why. This holistic approach to problem-solving has aided me in my design process, helping me stay resilient when grappling with tough design problems that don’t produce immediate answers.
Northwest instilled within me a curiosity for a wide range of subjects, and today I still feel very compelled to pursue all of these interests! I feel incredibly grateful to have the opportunity to continue these interests in college, such as music, math, and humanities classes, and I hope to incorporate these all in my life in some way after college.”
