Julie Moquin
Class of 2017
Attended Gulf Stream School for 10 years.
Current Career
I am a student at Rice University and a part-time tennis coach. This summer, I will be interning at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center.
How did your years at GSS benefit you in all of your post-graduate experiences and help make you who you are today?
The faculty at GSS nurtured me and helped me excel in my personal growth. I learned empathy and compassion for others and for myself. I was extremely prepared academically for high school and Gulf Stream allowed me to blossom into my full academic potential.
At the Benjamin School. I received the Thomas Jefferson Book Award and the 12 Characters Award. I was the Math Pathfinder and a national AP scholar. At Rice University, I am currently a part of Pi Delta Phi (the National French Honor Society).
Who was your favorite teacher(s) and/or what was your favorite subject(s)?
My favorite teacher was Mr. Harahush for several reasons. First, Mr. Harahush always made math class interesting and enjoyable. I always couldn’t wait to have class with him. He was a very caring and compassionate teacher. Second, we both love cats. And finally, without Mr. Harahush I would never have discovered my love for astrophysics. Mr. Harahush brought out my resilience and helped me grow my self-confidence in my skills and studies. My favorite class was Latin with Ms. Fio. Latin class was always a blast with never-ending laughter and learning. Ms. Fio was so passionate and engaging; Latin was such a unique class.

Any special experiences, memories or quotes?
I am still the only student at Gulf Stream who knew the names of Mr. Harahush’s cats.
