Aquinas has been a second home to me since I was a little kid. My father, uncles, grandfather and brother all attended Aquinas. My parents chose Aquinas for the diverse culture. Aquinas has taught me to meet people from different backgrounds, cultures and socioeconomic statuses. I have learned the importance and value of investing in my education and I have learned the study habits that I need to be successful in college and in life.
