“As a recent delegate to American Legion Boys Nation, I gained an understanding of political science and how my future, if at all, fits into the realm of politics. In the summer of 2007, I studied both personal and social theology at the University of Notre Dame’s Summer Scholars Program for high school students. In college, I hope to study the interdependent relationship between ethics, religious morality and politics.”
