I LOSE MYSELF IN MY SHELTERED AND SPOILED LIFESTYLE AT HOME. NOW THAT I'VE WITNESSED AND EXPERIENCED THE THINGS I DID, I FEEL DEEPLY TOWARDS DOING MORE FOR SERVICE AND SOCIAL JUSTICE."

VILLANOVA UNIVERSITY "MY EXPERIENCE GAVE ME THE INSPIRATION AND DRIVE THAT I NEEDED TO ACCEPT SOLIDARITY AND TO SERVE IN A SOCIALLY JUST WAY AND TO CONVEY AN ATTITUDE OF INCREASING GRATITUDE FOR MY LIFE AND A CLEAR KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT POVERTY REALLY IS. I AM NOT SURE WHAT MY STEPS TO FIX THIS WILL BE, BUT ROSTRO DE CRISTO GAVE ME THE PUSH THAT WAS NEEDED FOR ME TO BE PRESENT AS A LIGHT IN THE LIVES THAT NEED IT MOST." LOYOLA UNIVERSITY MARYLAND "I FEEL EVEN MORE COMMITTED TO THE CAUSE OF SOCIAL JUSTICE AND LIBERATION THEOLOGY AFTER LIVING IN DURN AMONGST SUCH RESILIENT PEOPLE."
