Day in the Life: Maya M, Seventh Grade

What does a day in the life of a Stuart seventh grader look like? Maya Malaki gives us an inside look with her photo diary, documenting a day in her life for the Student Life Instagram account. From engaging classes to relaxing moments with friends, Maya shares her schedule along with reflections on what makes Stuart special to her. In addition to her notes below, Maya had this to say about what she loves about Stuart: “I love Stuart since it’s a safe space for me where I can express myself without being judged. There are many programs at Stuart that allow students to feel a sense of belonging.“
