I always enjoyed smaller classes and had a genuine interest in an incredibly wide variety of subjects. I soon realized, however, that a big school was not for me, and a school that only focused on certain subjects was not either. I initially visited many different types of schools including big universities and even a few technical institutes, since I like math and science. My parents were not very involved in the college decision process and allowed me to freely choose. I initially had no idea where I would go to college. I also have a younger brother who imitates every aspect of my life, even the sports he chooses to play. My mother is a high school chemistry teacher, and my father works for Kodak. I would say it was a fun place to grow with lots of other children and a caring community of parents.ĭescribe your parents and/or family members? I remember walking to school every day and not really complaining about it as a child, even though I now probably would. I spent every day of my summer at the park, mostly playing basketball, but also playing other sports or games with my friends.
I grew up in Ridgefield Park, New Jersey, next to the 2ndStreet Park. Where did you grow up and what was life like there? Thanks to the generous support of young alumni, Hamilton is pleased to name Mark Ibrahim '12 of Ridgefield Park, N.J., as its 19th GOLD Scholar. Mark recently sat down to reflect on his Hamilton experience, and here's what he shared.
