    Personal Statement: Cake loving, dog rescuing, truth-seeking reader of banned books. @14 I read The Color Purple; it set fire to my imagination and helped me find my voice.
     
    I strive each day toward a loving heart, fierce mind, and brave spirit. To be inspired, I listen to new music and look for street art. To be well, I do body weight exercise. To find adventure, I travel. To find excitement and humility, I follow Notre Dame sports.
     
    For the present, I volunteer and spend time with family and friends. For the future, I help learners think for themselves, so they can solve problems and create a better world.
