“SM has provide me with resources and support that has helped me be successful in my schooling. The community is very welcoming and makes sure that you are comfortable at SM. As a football player, I was able to find friends immediately. Through our ups and downs, I gained friendships that will last a lifetime. The Catholic basis at SM has made me become a better person as I learn to share and to care for others, as well as become closer to God. I will never forget sophomore year, my first year on varsity, running out the tunnel hearing a whole crowd of students and eagle families. The eagle family is a family that I will always be a part of. I cannot wait to walk across the stage, knowing that I have accomplished so much and that I am prepared to take on the college world.”
