What excites you about attending Notre Dame? So many things excite me about Notre Dame, but if I had to narrow it down to one specific thing, it would be Notre Dame 's culture. By this, I mean that Notre Dame has the best sense of culture compared to any other university, and this culture centers around the Catholic faith and spans all the way out to the pride in its football team. The Catholic faith truly brings me close to home since I am a cradle Catholic and have loved the faith since I was born. Notre Dame is so centered around the faith and the people on campus get so involved, especially in the events such as Notre Dame vision. Of course who thinks about Notre Dame and doesn 't think about football? I have always loved football, and Notre Dame football at that. I am so excited to become a part of that, whether it be playing or just cheering. So from faith to football the culture at Notre Dame is what makes it stand out from other institutions to me.

Even if someone else has a complete different political or religious background or they have experienced a complete different childhood, they can always find some common ground that they share.

    I had the grand honor of being born into a culturally diverse family. Although Dominican culture dominates our customs, we are 25% Middle Eastern from Lebanon, and 25% Spanish from Barcelona, Spain. The cultures have all laced into each other in such a way that I find it utterly ordinary to eat Arabic food while listening to Dominican music while serving Spanish desserts. My parents came to America at around the age that I am now, met each other, and my mom had my first sister at 18 while my father was 22. My mom went back to high school to finish her GED while my father enrolled in an institution that he never got around to finishing because his english was not well.

    “There’s lots of traditional thinking buried deep within each story and the longer you spend thinking about it the more you learn about yourself, your people and the Indian way” (Wagamese, 1994, p.145). Reuniting with his family, discovering his heritage, connecting with community members, and learning the traditional teachings and practices have greatly impacted his sense of self, identity, and values toward community. It was foundational to his self-discovery and community connection that he had several people like his sister who were willing to share the family history and their ties to the community. To understand the nature, processes and experience of sense of community at any one time for a particular community it is necessary to have some appreciation of the community’s history (Pretty, 2006). Working closely with Keeper and reconciling the negative feelings his mother had toward losing him has likely helped solidify an aspect of community wherein members matter to one another and that their needs will be met by staying

It's important to me to have strong family values because I feel it makes me a better person and helps me to never forget where I came from.
