"As an individual, Notre Dame has helped me grow both academically and professionally. Its ability to shape one's mind in and out of the classroom and on and off the field has heped me become a well-rounded individual. From being exposed to many different people from many different backgrounds and being challenges rigorously in the classroom, I am confident that Notre Dame has prepared me to be an achiever beyond my high school years."
