Senior goodbye: Michael McCafferty

Dear Archbishop Carroll,

Thank you for the amazing four years that you have given me here. There are so many things to be thankful for.

First is baseball. Even though it started off rough with my first season beginning and then being ended by COVID, the next three years made up for it and some. My sophomore year was the first year that I finally got to play and it was amazing, from having fun at practices to making the playoffs on a walk off by Tony Marrone. Next year was even better because  everything from last year continued and we got to go to Myrtle Beach, as well as another time being in the playoffs. Lastly, this senior year has been the best of them all, from senior day to going to team dinners and everything in between. I will never forget the bonds I built through baseball at Carroll and I’m so thankful for them.

Other than being on the baseball field, being on the football field was right up there, too. After having a fun freshman year, I took two years off to focus on baseball, but was welcomed back my senior year with open arms. Even though we had a rough season, I was happy I got to play football again. The coaches and the friendships and everything in between made Carroll football one of the best things for me at Carroll.

Lastly, and the most important thing from my time at Carroll, was my teachers. Each one was different from another and made each class feel unique and easy to be engaged in the classes. Although I have had my fair share of late work, teachers always make sure to help whenever you ask for it. Anything that you needed, you could always go to a teacher for help. The best part about the teachers at Carroll, though, are that they are pretty cool, from making class fun, to going to sports games and prom, and even to taking classes outside. Every single teacher that I have had during my time at Carroll helped prepare me for college and the future past that.

Although my time at Carroll is now over, I will never forget the memories, teachers, and friends that I met through my time at Carroll.

Sincerely,

Michael McCafferty
