Entering a new environment can be scary and uncomfortable, but the Brother Rice community made that experience less stressful than usual. The lessons I have learned from the teachers, students, and staff have been wonderful.
If you were to tell me at the beginning of the year that my senior year would be better than my sophomore year, I would tell you that you’re full of it. If you were to tell me that now, I would agree with you. My senior year experience was one of a kind.
My advice to future Crusaders is my opinion on the secret of life which is “People change people.”
As time goes on that quote proves to be right every day. Meeting the “Housewives” has been one of the best things that has happened to me. The talks, trips, and hangouts we had has been generational.
The memories I have had during school with “The Punisher” in Ms. Pacetti’s class, life lessons in Coach Gleeson’s class, and just vibing with Mr. Deegan is an experience I will never forget. Thank you, Brother Rice.
