Bottom Line Memory: My counselor and other counselors coming up to Amherst and taking all the BL students to Bertucci’s, and receiving my care packages of course!

If I could send a care package, I’d fill it with: Encouragement

Why I stay involved with Bottom Line: I stay involved with Bottom Line because I’ve realized the significance of the support and motivation that BL provided me during my 4 years and even after college.  BL was a critical part of my success and was there for me during my most stressful times and continued to encourage me throughout.

People would be surprised to learn that I used to: Play basketball-  I started playing in elementary school and even played some intramural basketball in college!

The BEST part of being a college graduate is: The new lenses and insight that I walked away with. I see the world in a different light and view societal issues from a different perspective, which I am grateful for.

The HARDEST part about being a college graduate is: Missing the social atmosphere that college provided.

I give back to Bottom Line because: I think all Bottom Line Alumni should volunteer their time, networks, and or expertise to the program and the students currently being served! It is only right to give back what was given to us.
