I believe that the opportunities that this Institute will provide will be instrumental in setting myself and all those involved up for success in the future, not only maintaining our Catholicism along the way but also promoting it as an integral part of our endeavors. I am most excited to work hard to learn the skills needed and especially to learn from mentors. I have always desired means to be able to strengthen my Catholicism and the responsibility I have in the world, and the Institute will advance both. I look forward to using what I have learned here in the future, particularly with dreams and pursuits of being a vital Catholic presence in my community.
