Madeline Modjeski

Name: Madeline Modjeski

Grade: 9

Hometown: Winona

Family: She lives with her parents and two siblings. Though she is a Modjeski, she does not (yet) know any of the other Modjeskis at Cotter (except her older sister) but says she is probably distantly related to them.

Hobbies and Interests: Madeline is interested in photography, investing, design, and traveling. Her exhaustive list of places she wants to visit includes Paris, Singapore, Dubai, and Croatia.

Why Cotter?: Previously homeschooled, she switched to Cotter for the social aspect of a huge building chock-full of teens and the unusual idea of a teacher that is not her mother or Google.

Likes about Cotter: She likes all her teachers, and says that her peers are “really nice.” Right now, her favorite class is World History. Also, she is happy that there is a vegan option for the school lunches.

Adjustment to Cotter: The only thing she dislikes about Cotter is the schedule; many of the extracurricular activities are at the same time as her swim team practices at the Winona public high school.

Fun Fact: She is a Marvel fan, and her favorite character is Loki.

Quote: Her favorite quote is; “How would the person I’d like to be do the things I’m about to do.” -Sean Croxton
