Last Will and Testament of Sean Buechele: My time at Christopher Columbus High School has been an incredible journey and changed me as a man since the day I walked in. The first day of high school for me was scary and terrifying seeing so many people in one place. I come from a small middle school of just 200 kids and it really hit me as too how big Columbus was. The 4 years that I had at this school gave me crazy and unforgettable memories that I will never forget throughout my life. Teachers starting from freshman year such as Mr. Nesser, Mrs. Mallafre, Mr. Landera, Mr. Ortega and Mr. Staiano that built me up for what was to come at Christopher Columbus. It made me grow and become an adult ready for college in the real world. As I move throughout the years, I made friends with teachers that really helped me in my academics and preparing me for college. Teachers such as Mr. Linfors, Mr. Corazon and Mr. Morrissey helped me for my common app. I’d like to thank Mr. Corazon for really sparking my love for stocks and finance and to get involved in the business world. I was always into business but with Mr. Corazon he really crafted the building blocks for me to create my future in business. Every teacher at Columbus has helped me and I will always be appreciative of what I was taught and learned in high school.
