When asked of the advice he would give to our students, John shares, “As a young person, go out of your way to create good memories. Travel, cultivate friendships, seek out adventure. You will be glad you did. Remember though, college will end. You will be expected to support yourself and maybe a family. Think about your future. Strive to find a goal that you can work toward, live with, and that will enable you to live independently. Seize the day!”
