What I love most about college: I love New York City and the independence that college gives me to explore my life and meet people from different backgrounds.

What I learned from BP:
BP gave me the perseverance necessary to keep pursuing my goals in the face of obstacles. It also exposed me to a group of people with very different life experiences, and so far I have been able to learn something new from everyone I have met at college. More than anything, BP gave me a determined attitude that lets me face every day with enthusiasm.
