Kush Arya

Kush Arya lives his life to a simple creed: it is in falling short of your own goals that you will surpass those who exceed their own. Kush has tirelessly pursued his dreams since well before he discovered a love for coding in grade school, and with every new language he learned, his burning desire for knowledge only grew fiercer. From coding in his free time to taking college-level classes, Kush has only been limited by the resources available to him. At Webb, his determination and resilience are hardly confined to the classroom; he brought both to his role as DSP as well as to his athletics. In cross country, Kush found a sport that helped him reframe challenges as opportunities to succeed. From Mr. Gerken‘s witty comments to Mr. Caldwell’s reassuring and proud back pats after a difficult meet, Kush has no shortage of stories when it comes to the faculty who pushed him to discover who he could become. He will continue his journey by studying computer science at Reed College next year.
