Just Get it Done: The Story of Joseph Goodly

Joseph Goodly ’29 spends a lot of time in the car. The daily drive from Derby, N.Y., to Nichols is a long one, especially at an age when most freshmen are looking for any excuse for an extra twenty minutes of sleep. But for Goodly, that commute is just the tax he pays to be at Nichols. He’s been doing it since sixth grade, and by now, the rhythm of a long day—classes, hockey, business meetings—is just his nature. 

When you talk to Joseph, you don’t get the sense that he’s trying to impress anyone. He’s understated. Ask him about balancing a freshman honors load with a JV hockey schedule and extracurricular meetings, and he doesn't give you a speech about time management. He just shrugs. “It’s a lot,” he says, “but I really enjoy it.”
