Hill School Chapel Talks
Attending Chapel is one of The Hill’s most treasured traditions. Sixth formers and faculty take to the lectern each week and offer the community the most inspiring, reflective, insightful, and sometimes comedic talks. Most are posted here on our website for all to enjoy. Take a listen - you won’t be disappointed.
The Memory Gap: What do we remember? Memory is fickle, filled with holes, and not always what it appears to be. So, how should we prioritize the things we hope to remember?
Second Chances: In my chapel talk, I tell a few stories about my mistakes from when I was younger and the second chances I was given. I talk about how these second chances brought me where I am today by giving me opportunities to grow. I also talk about how perfection is impossible, and why Hill is the best place to fail because here you are supported by those who want to see you succeed.
What We Can't Measure: Regardless of where we are right now and where we want to go, push yourself and others to seek meaning in the things that we do, not just the end result.
Ecosystems: Always and Everywhere: A look at the Chesapeake Bay ecosystem, its inhabitants, and how you may not be much different than an oyster yourself.
Social Anxiety and Doing Hard Things: What’s hard or easy for you might be very different from what is hard or easy for your peers.
We Get To vs. We Have To: How I learned to change my mentality to appreciate what we get to do rather than what we have to do.
