Knight to Know: Gabriel Wilkes ’25


Hometown: Royersford, Pa.
Major: Spanish
Extracurriculars: Taking a GFS to Ballyvaughan and a semester in Granada, where I got to learn how to have fun in new environments, live together with great friends, and practice gratitude for having such good opportunities.
What do you like to do in your free time?
Anything that makes me laugh, cleaning, decorating, and oil painting!
What is your proudest accomplishment to date?
Continuing to get up every day, and trying to experience life as wondrous as it can be.
Favorite Arcadia memory: One time, I drew a bunch of pictures of snowmen getting thrashed and clobbered to bits, and it seemed like everyone who saw them was so there for it; the reception was overwhelmingly positive.
Post-grad plans: My plans are to get more hands-on experience in IT and tech at large. I like to problem-solve on computers. Maybe I’ll go back to Spain and teach for a while!
