It was empowering to be an inspiration to the juniors, and to finally win a banner for the school during my last indoor soccer season. Overall, I am glad I dedicated my time because it reinforced the importance of discipline, and confidence in myself. Perhaps the most meaningful way I made an impact in the school was through the clubs at Brebeuf College. BCSA and the student council are two clubs I am most proud to be a part of because they foster connections between students in my community. As a founder of BCSA, I have devoted countless lunches and hours of time to ensure events were organized, games ran smoothly, and the club's mission was achieved. As a result, the club educated students on strategies to achieve mental wellness, and ultimately, a healthier life. My mission to serve the Brebeuf community through academics, sports teams, and community engagement makes me the ideal candidate for the Peter Knopfel scholarship. Brebeuf instills the motto ‘Men for Others’ in its students, and my tireless commitment showed how Brebeuf made me a man for

I love inspiring and working with the girls, whether it be on how to play the sport, or giving them a shoulder to lean on if they had a rough day. I know during Outdoor School, it’s not just about instructing students how to play a game or do an activity, but giving them life skills that they will use in the future. Participating in my 11th year of softball, the sport has taught me how to communicate with others and work together as a team. These skills I’ve learned over my softball career has allowed me to become not only a better player, but also a better person. Additionally, being a two year member of Key Club, with 63 (and counting) overall volunteer hours contributed to our community, it has allowed me to branch out as a person, and has given me opportunities like no other.
