Welcome to Peer 2 Peer, a podcast where every voice matters.
Join us, Peer Leaders from New Brunswick High School, as we reflect on our experiences both inside and outside the classroom. Each episode takes an in-depth look at our personal journeys, exploring the challenges we've faced and the triumphs we've celebrated. We delve into how these experiences have shaped us into the leaders we are today and provide insights to help you on your own path to leadership development.
In this special Peer2Peer bonus episode, the hosts welcome back one of the original voices of the podcast — Nancy, Class of 2024 and current Ramapo College sophomore. Now majoring in data science with a minor in public health, Nancy reflects on how her experiences at New Brunswick High School shaped her mindset, work ethic, and confidence beyond graduation.
Nancy shares powerful insights about mentorship, independence, failure, and learning how to bet on yourself. From navigating dorm life and friendships to applying for “crazy” scholarships and internships, she emphasizes the importance of not settling, embracing discomfort, and staying grounded in your roots. This episode is packed with real talk, motivation, and perspective for any student thinking about life after high school — and how the choices you make now truly matter.

How Small Decisions Shape Your Future - P2P303
Peer Leaders Ashley and Olvin dive deep into the choices—big and small—that shaped who they are today. From changing friend groups in eighth and ninth grade to joining sports, AVID, wrestling, and the dental program, they explore how one decision can set off a chain reaction that impacts everything else.
They also break down the butterfly effect in real life: how small habits like procrastinating, skipping class, or choosing the right club can snowball into totally different futures. Along the way, Ashley and Alvan share personal stories about academic wake-up calls, peer pressure, freshman-year insecurities, and the support systems that helped them grow. They connect this all back to their work as Peer Leaders and reflect on how their freshmen are growing through the outreach program.
