Loves About Brebeuf
The candy bowl, of course, but I also love the medium size of our school! Brebeuf is big enough where you can meet new people or get to know someone better, but small enough where you can form close relationships with your classmates and your teachers. It truly is the best of both worlds!
Future Plans
I plan to attend a college (to be determined!) and major in political science and minor in urban studies.
I eventually hope to work for an organization that stops the displacement of communities post-gentrification in city areas; One D.C. is a great organization for this!
