"I love this community" “I’ve always loved South Bend. I love living here. I’m going to college here. I don’t regret not going somewhere else. When I was making college choices, I was visiting a university. I was in Rhode Island visiting Brown for admitted student day talking to people about what’s so special about Providence, what’s so special about the college. I was deciding between Brown and Notre Dame and what made me decide to stay at Notre Dame and stay in South Bend was I was talking to a community leader about how he gets involved with the neighborhoods, how he gets involved in the city and community and something just didn’t feel right. He asked me “Why do you want to get involved in the community of Providence?” and it just hit me that I don’t want to get involved in your community. I want to stay in South Bend. I want to improve that community because that’s the one I’m passionate about and that’s the one I love. I love the people here I love the history here. I love the community, the culture. It was at that moment when it hit me that I want to live in South Bend and stay here. That’s the main factor that drove my decision to stay here for college and stay here for the next four years, because I love this community so much.”
