It is crazy to think that after these last couple of weeks, I will not be returning to Brother Rice for another year of school. It is definitely a bittersweet feeling; I can’t wait to be on summer break and to be done with school, but part of me is really going to miss this place and the memories I have created.

Draft season is upon us! This is the time when all NFL fan bases wait patiently to see who will wear their team colors next season. This time can either make or break a fan base’s spirit. We Chicago Bear fans know this feeling, almost too well, flashing back to when we drafted Kevin White, a wide receiver out of West Virginia University. He got hurt a couple of times; I don’t know what he’s up to today. The draft pick can go the other way, and we end up with a stud like Justin Fields, who I […]

Last week Brother Rice held its first Kairos retreat, Kairos 160, of the 2022-23 school year. Most graduates consider Kairos one of their favorite upperclassmen memories. I had the privilege of going on Kairos 160. I am going to take you through my thought process leading up to the retreat and a brief reflection because I can’t tell you what went on during the retreat. Don’t anticipate, participate!

A couple of my friends went on it last year and had a great time, so I decided to take their advice and give Kairos a chance. When handing my permission […]
