โ€œThe days at Nativity are long, and the expectations are high โ€” but no one here lets you give up on yourself. The teachers believed in me even when I struggled to believe in myself, and my classmates became more than friends โ€” they became brothers. Whether in the classroom, on retreats, or through service projects, I didnโ€™t just grow academically โ€” I grew in faith, resilience, and a more profound sense of purpose. I learned to lead, serve, and keep going when things get hard.โ€
