Letter from Member of Class of 2020

Hello, my fellow classmates!I’m Megan Campbell from Detroit, Michigan but totally a SoCal girl. (Can’t wait to go!) Phillips Exeter Academy has been my dream school since my parents forced me into a life of private institutions and individual tutors! I am SO ENTHUSED to meet all of you suuuper soon.

So, a bit about me. Like I said, I’m from Detroit, so I’m really into Canadian foods, car manufacturing, the band KISS, and bankruptcy. My three main interests are writing (I want to be a professional blogger), studying for the SATs (LOL), and numismatics. I’m going to assume you don’t know what the latter is, so I’ll just tell you: the study of coins, medals, and paper currency. I thought about taking Latin this year but decided I valued practicality more, so am now enrolled in Spanish. Let me know if you are too and want to say “hola” some time ;).

I do equestrian, but because there aren’t any horses on campus (unless you count me when I’m hungry LOL) I think I’ll settle for trying out for field hockey, squash, and lacrosse. I did tee-ball for two years as a toddler so I think I’m up to speed. (Although I’ve been watching Doctor Who and Sherlock all summer so I have a food baby LOL.)

Super happy and nervous to join Modeul UN and Debate! I’ve done both since I was two, so hopefully they’ll take me.

In conclusion, I’m really excited to try new things and old things and meet all of you! If you want to talk about anything, especially numismatics or RuPaul’s Drag Race, let me know! And if you have questions about anything (I’ve done a lot of research) feel free to ask!

Your future class president,

Megan Campbell ’20
