Within just days of waiting in anxious anticipation ahead of the 2022 MLB draft, then signing his name on the dotted line with the Detroit Tigers, Penn baseball graduate Joe Miller flew out to the Tigers’ spring training complex in Florida with only business on his mind — but not with a dream of sitting behind a heavy desk, dressed in a pressed suit, and being addressed as “general manager.” Rather, he’s suiting up with resolute full-focus to prove that the only place he belongs at the moment is on the mound.

Would you prefer a loud or quiet dorm? What are your pet peeves? How do you feel about guests? Do you have a preferred room temperature? What is the general cleanliness of your room? You agonize over what your favorite TV show says about you or how to articulate your political ideology as honestly — yet sympathetically — as possible. Maybe you decide that translating yourself into roughly 24 categories is impossible. Every day, a post from @upenn2026.info shows up in your Instagram feed, and you swipe through it analyzing, wondering, "could this be my roommate?"

I’ve had my fair share of moving. The fact is, I have never stayed in one school for more than three years. I went to four different elementary schools. I spent my first semester of high school in China, but then suddenly decided to finish the rest of my high school career in the United States. I traveled to the U.S. all by myself at 14, starting my first day of school just hours after a 16-hour flight to a foreign place I’d never visited. At 18, I moved to California to attend UCLA. But perhaps the most unexpected move was transferring to Penn at the age of 20.

James Farrell and his brother Michael Farrell always had bright smiles on their faces, reflecting their profound warmth and care towards others. And it is how the people they encountered — from residents of their hometown Manhasset, N.Y., to James' fellow graduates of the Class of 2018, to the alumni of Penn men's lacrosse — remember the brothers most fondly.
While arriving at Penn was a culture shock in many ways, with its emphasis on pre-professionalism and work-hard, play-harder attitude, what I still find myself grappling with is how different my high school experience was from many of my peers.
