I ended up thinking that maybe law enforcement could be a career, like working in the FBI. Honestly, I was really looking forward to the next year when I could go through the program again." Unfortunately for Ciampa, the coronavirus pandemic had other ideas, causing the 2020 program to be held virtually. "We still had some great lectures, but it really wasn't the same as we missed a lot of cool experiences," Ciampa said. "They couldn't bring in the SWAT vans and equipment or the copters, which was too bad. We were told they also tried to set up a surprise visit from (Red Sox Manager) Alex Cora, but that didn't work out." The silver lining for Ciampa? "It was a lot easier getting up in the morning to Zoom," Ciampa said. "When it was in-person, the drill sergeant had us up in line at 5 a.m. every morning, so not having to do that was a positive thing for all of us." Ciampa said he still stays in touch with his roommate, who now attends UMass-Amherst. While for now Ciampa is focused on getting his varsity volleyball game in good shape for the Eagles' spring season, he is also working for a second year as a big-buddy volunteer in the Massachusetts General Hospital for Children's Food Allergy Buddy program. "I was diagnosed at a very young age with a nut allergy, but I've grown out of it to some extent," said Ciampa. "Having had the allergy all my life, I've been very lucky in that I never really stressed about it as it was all I know." Ciampa is also whittling down the list of colleges he will be applying to this fall. Among his top destinations are Boston College, the University of Pennsylvania and the University of California at Berkeley, where Ciampa participated in a two-week business program as a seventh grader. Ciampa said he's extremely comfortable with Boston College, having attended many hockey and football games with relatives who have attended the school. "The FBI says you can go into the bureau with any major, so I am thinking about a business major," he said. "If I had to say where I may see myself under the business umbrella, I'd probably say forensic accounting." Ciampa has turned his business and leadership acumen in other directions. At the ripe old age of 12, Ciampa turned a lifelong passion for helping children with food allergies stay safe into his own online company, Treasure Socks, which makes specially-designed socks with a secure pocket for children to store their medicines, money, keys, IDs and other possessions. "I'm one of six million children in the United States who lives with a life-threatening allergy," Ciampi said. "That means I need to carry my medicine with me every time I leave the house and sometimes that's tricky for a kid. When I was 12 years old, I struggled because there was no easy way to carry my epinephrine with me all the time. That's why I invented Treasure Socks." A lifelong resident of Lynnfield, Ciampa lives with his mother, his father, John, and younger brothers Brendan, who is an eighth grader at the Prep's middle school, and Nick, a fourth grader at the Summer Street Elementary School. A portion of every pair of Treasure Socks sold is donated to Food Allergy Research and Education (FARE).
