What is the most influential book you have read besides the Bible? Why?
The most influential book I’ve read is probably Dante’s Inferno in Mr. Poole’s class, our sophomore year. The book sparked a lot of conversations about faith, heaven and hell. We had a lot of meaningful discussions of the book that changed my perspective on these topics. I loved asking questions and discussing the themes covered in the book.

I hope the books we read and opportunities we get stay the same. I love the classical books we get to read and discuss. I also enjoyed the fun things Geneva students get to do that others do not like the Europe trip, field day, EagleFest and more.
