Jonathan Law graduate Helen Chizmazia is now a freshman at Saint Michael’s College in Colchester, Vermont, majoring in Digital Media and English while also playing for their Division II womens lacrosse team.
Chizmazia was very active in her four years at Law, playing volleyball and lacrosse. Her mindset has mostly stayed the same as she was always used to going to class and then going straight to sports practices after.
“My mindset has mostly stayed the same since graduating,” Chizmazia said. “It is really easy to be positive here and I look forward to almost everything I do here.”
A typical day for Chizmazia starts at 6 a.m. with fall ball practice, then class starts at 9:45 a.m. Her classes usually last until 3:30 p.m. After class some days, they will have a team lift, and to finish off the day she will grab dinner and study for the rest of the night.
“Law definitely instilled a lot of good habits in me that I use in college,” Chizmazia said.
Chizmazia emphasized how important it is to soak in high school and the experience that comes with high school.
“Specifically, Law sports (lacrosse and volleyball) have provided me with so many experiences with sportsmanship and just general excitement to be a teammate so that has definitely prepared me,” Chizmazia said.
