Sydney Weiss

Sydney Weiss is a 17 year old student at Richard Montgomery. When asked what the best experience of her entire 17 years was she described an adventure she had with her family in Bermuda. Her and her family went on a vacation at the end of 2019. One day while in Bermuda they decided to go past the beach to see what more was there. When they did go past the beach they found the true beauty of Bermuda in the mountainsides. 

It opened her eyes to the power of nature. She realized there was more to traveling then just fancy hotel rooms. Sydney felt forever changed after this experience. She now believes her true passion to be travelling, and she can’t wait to experience the beauty of other countries and cultures. One of the worst things about 2020 for her and her family is the fact that they can’t travel now. 

However that hasn’t stopped Sydney from planning her next grand adventure.  Her next destination is either Italy or Greece. She hopes to have a “mamma mia” type moment there. Sydney also hopes to combine her passion for travel with her work. She isn’t sure what job she wants right now but she is very optimistic. 

She is currently leaving her options open and has applied to all her schools undecided. Wherever she goes to college she hopes to study abroad and explore the beauty of other cultures.  “I’m 17 and I don’t know what I am going to do with the rest of my life. (I) honestly don;t know what I am going to do and I think that’s ok. We will see where college takes me, what direction it goes to. The world is open. The world’s our oyster. We can do whatever we want to.”
