My touchdown against Marist was probably the coolest moment this year. During the third quarter, Ryan Hartz threw the ball to me in the end zone for a touchdown. We tied up the score 24-24.

My buddy Tyler has been with me through everything. We’ve been in almost all the same classes since we started high school. Tyler always makes me laugh and pushes me to do my best. He’s like a brother to me.

Many students are scared to go on Kairos or even think about going. Kairos is a great benefit to many. Not only has Kairos affected me, it has affected many of my friends.

Brotherhood is huge at Brother Rice, and it is one of the main reasons why it functions so well. The brotherhood at Rice is special because you see the same kids every day and create bonds with each other.

However, many kids are shy or quiet because they don’t feel as if they could make friends. Going on Kairos can allow you to open up to many […]
