Meet Adrianus Pont '20, currently studying Aerospace Engineering at the Delft University of Technology in The Netherlands. Born to an Iranian mother and a Dutch father, Adrian grew up in the United States before moving to Barcelona in Grade 7. "I decided to apply to Delft because it isn't easy. I wanted a true challenge: a way to push myself to new limits. Over the next handful of years, I hope to realize my full potential as not only a student but more as an individual."

Although Adrian admits that aerospace engineering has never been a true passion, he has always found engineering quite interesting. "I always did well in physics, and the nuance of its application to flight really does intrigue me," he shares.

When asked to comment on his learning journey at ASB, Adrian gives credit to his high school Spanish teacher, Ms. Corral. "Through her constant reinforcement and encouragement, I learned to apply myself to goals and realized that taking the path of least resistance wasn't always the path to self-fulfillment."

Adrian reflects on all the positive experiences and friendships from his time at ASB. "It would not do justice to pick out a single best time from my years at ASB."
