Not Just a Home

What does William & Mary mean to you?

William & Mary to me is not just a home – it’s also a place where I feel like I found myself. Coming here during my freshman year, I didn’t know anyone and doing all of the Orientation activities wasn’t really what I was super into. But, I was able to find a group of friends that I cliqued with and they helped me to figure out who I was and what I wanted to do with my life. Now I understand where my strengths and weaknesses are.

How do you think that coming to William & Mary will impact the rest of your life, as far as your career, your relationships, your future, or anything like that?

I think that even if I drift apart from the friends that I have made here because we’ll be moving to different places and things like that, I’m still always going to remember those friendships and those memories. I feel like I’ve experienced so much here that’s just completely changed my life and my perspective on the world in a positive way.
