UC Berkeley
“Notre Dame has prepared me for my future by giving me a strong academic foundation, while also helping me grow as a leader and a person The supportive community and close relationships with teachers allowed me to challenge myself and step outside of my comfort zone. Being a part of leadership roles here at NDB, I feel ready to step into the world of college and immerse myself in each and every opportunity it has to offer”
