I love that I go to a college where the only thing people care about is the quality of the character and the things that I bring to the table, not what I'm wearing, or how I sound, or how I look. At Grinnell, I feel free to be who I am.
Grinnell was really the first place where I actually had the chance, or the self-awareness, to pursue something that was a little bit out of my comfort zone.
I would definitely credit that experience with helping me to have a persuasive application and making me want to do this type of work.
We went through the fire, went through the ice, and I learned how to come out stronger. I’m a resilient Grinnellian.
