In this special Peer2Peer bonus episode, the hosts welcome back one of the original voices of the podcast — Nancy, Class of 2024 and current Ramapo College sophomore. Now majoring in data science with a minor in public health, Nancy reflects on how her experiences at New Brunswick High School shaped her mindset, work ethic, and confidence beyond graduation.

Nancy shares powerful insights about mentorship, independence, failure, and learning how to bet on yourself. From navigating dorm life and friendships to applying for “crazy” scholarships and internships, she emphasizes the importance of not settling, embracing discomfort, and staying grounded in your roots. This episode is packed with real talk, motivation, and perspective for any student thinking about life after high school — and how the choices you make now truly matter.
