Jonathan Law Class of 2024 graduate Gemard Guery is a freshman at Yale where he is currently deciding between the majors of Global Affairs, Political Science, or Ethic, Politics, and Economics.

Guery found the transition from high school to college very enjoyable. 

“Overall, the transition has been really good, it definitely took some time to adjust to campus and how my schedule looks because it’s so different from high school, but I’ve really adjusted well and met a lot of cool people.” Guery said “There’s a lot of support here that really made the transition smooth.”

Guery is involved in many clubs and has participated in several projects to help the community.

“Right now, I’m a part of the council for my residential college. I joined Yale Steppin’ Out (step team), the Daily News, and the Urban Improvement Corps which works with youth in New Haven,” Guery said. “I also just started at the Policy Institute where I’m doing a project on protections for immigrant children.”

Guery has found the whole experience of college amazing so far and has tried many new activities. 

“The experience has been amazing so far,” Guery said. “I really love the people I’ve met here so far and I’m doing a lot of really cool things that I’ve never gotten the chance to try before like paddle boarding and pottery.”

Guery advises seniors to breathe and try not to stress as much. 

“My biggest piece of advice to seniors is to take a moment to breathe, senior year can definitely be really stressful so taking time to take care of yourself and doing what you enjoy is so valuable,” Guery said.  It may be college application season, but it’s also the end of high school so make sure you’re taking advantage of the time you have with your friends. Go to that game and go see that movie because the year goes by faster than you think and you’ll be walking that stage in the blink of an eye.”
