Friends, Chicagoans, Students lend me your ears.
My time here at Saint Xavier has been invaluable in shaping the person I have become. Looking back at the last four years I feel that I have had many great experiences and gained friendships that will last far beyond my time here.
Here at Saint Xavier I received a wonderful education in both the Criminal Justice and Communication programs. I feel that the projects and work that I have done during the last four years have prepared me for any future career I may hold.
Becoming a part of the Paw Prints Dance Team here at Saint Xavier had a huge effect on my last two years here. I became more involved on campus and met some extremely wonderful teammates who have become my friends.
This last year as a member of The Xavierite has had an enormous effect on my work ethic and understanding of what it means to work in a professional setting as a team. Not only that but everyone was so friendly and supportive it was like becoming a member of a family.
The Saint Xavier community has inspired me to better not only myself, but also the area around me.
It is my goal to be known not only for my work ethic and career but, also, for how I live in my day-to-day life as the member of my community and family. I feel that Saint Xavier has given me the tools to move forward and live in such a way.
It’s time for us seniors to move forward with our lives and enter into the real world where interviews, bills, and budgets await us. So good luck to everyone and may the future hold wonderful surprises with lots of amazing experiences ahead.
