Why St. Bonaventure?
I enjoy the whole en-
vironment of the school. Everyone is so wel-
coming and caring toward one another. And I
love the intensity for sports here. Basketball
games are celebrated like holidays. It's an op-
portunity for everyone to come together and be a part of something so big
and fun. But it isn't just basketball that brings students together. I love going
to soccer games with my friends, especially under the lights, and seeing the
bleachers full of other students cheering the Bonnies on! Club hockey games
also have a very supportive student body section.
What does this scholarship mean for you?
It means that I will be telling
myself to push harder and not give up because I know many students are not
fortunate enough to be granted scholarships.
Are you involved in any campus clubs or activities?
This is my second
year on the women's club soccer team and I spend some of my free time vol-
unteering at the local ASPCA.
Why St. Bonaventure? I chose St. Bonaventure
because of the family atmosphere this campus
community has. It is a home away from home. I
also spent many years visiting and getting to
know the campus because I have three siblings who are either currently enrolled
or have graduated from here. It was an easy choice for me.
How did you choose your major? I love to help people, especially those who
have special needs because in past experiences they have taught me more than I
could ever teach them. I have multiple years' experience working with individuals
with disabilities and it is extremely rewarding -- I love every second of it.
Are you involved in any campus clubs or activities? I am the captain of the
men's club volleyball team and I participate in intramurals.

Why St. Bonaventure?
I came
to this school because I knew I
could become a better leader.
The staff here wants you to be
successful and will support you.
I have a wonderful dean who
has helped me so much. I also
loved the campus and I thought
it was so beautiful.
What does this scholarship
mean for you?
This scholar-
ship means that I will be able to
help my community develop
leaders. I want to help the
youth of my community beat
the odds. Growing up in De-
troit is very difficult with the
crime rate and unemployment
rate. I want to make sure that
our youth are not forgotten
and to give them the resources
they need to become produc-
tive citizens.
Are you involved in any
campus clubs or activities?
This year I am the secretary of
the Step Team, a resident assis-
tant, and am in Embrace it
Africa.
