Last summer Nick Landman volunteered at My Brother’s Keeper, a non-profit Christian ministry in Easton and Dartmouth, MA, which delivers furniture and food to families in need. Anyone living in its service area in southeastern Massachusetts is eligible to receive help, regardless of religion. In his Senior Reflection, Nick said delivering food to homes where people were in need gave him “a good feeling” and reminded him how fortunate he is.
Nick will return to My Brother’s Keeper this summer, where he will put in an eight-hour day once a week for five weeks, riding in a truck filled with food for those without enough to eat.
At Fenn Nick runs cross country and is on the track team, and in the winter he does a sports alternative, fencing, about which he is passionate. He has been fencing for nine years and participates in competitions. Nick says fencing requires stamina and endurance and is physically and mentally demanding.
Nick will serve as the stage manager for the winter musical, Godspell. He says Global Studies is his favorite class and that he enjoys learning about different religions. At home, where Nick has a sister, Julia, who is 12, and an English setter named Gwennie, Nick enjoys reading; he particularly likes science fiction and Ray Bradbury is his favorite author.
When he graduates this spring, Nick says he will miss the Fenn community and the support he has received here, all of which, he says, reinforces his Senior Reflection message of “I feel lucky for what I have.”
