In Roseville, California, the Chambers twins are marking a significant milestone as they prepare to graduate from Oakmont High School and head to Cornell University in New York. Devin and Brody Chambers, both seniors, are excited to embark on their college journey together, maintaining the close bond they have shared throughout their lives.
Shared Journey to Cornell
Devin, a talented athlete known for her prowess in long jump and triple jump, secured her place at Cornell with a track and field scholarship. She expressed her enthusiasm for the academic challenges and the vibrant community at the Ivy League institution. ‘When I went to the school, I absolutely fell in love with it,’ Devin shared, highlighting her appreciation for the people and the rigorous academic environment.
Brody, who was accepted a few weeks after his sister, is eager to dive into Cornell’s academic offerings, particularly in math and computer science. He values the university’s low student-to-faculty ratio, which he believes will foster strong relationships with professors and a tight-knit community. Brody envisions a future in sports analytics or quantitative finance, fields where he can apply his mathematical skills.
Community Pride
The Oakmont High School community takes pride in the achievements of Devin and Brody. Principal Marc Buljan commended the twins for their leadership and positive influence among peers and staff. ‘They’re leaders with all the students around here. The students look up to them because they make the right choices,’ Buljan noted, emphasizing their involvement in the community.
As they prepare to graduate on Friday, the twins reflect on their shared experiences and look forward to supporting each other in the next chapter of their lives. ‘We’ve grown up together. We’ve gone through highs and lows together,’ Devin remarked, expressing gratitude for having her brother by her side as they both pursue their academic dreams at Cornell.
