These schools not only shaped me as a student but also as a person, as Catholic morals and values ​​were a key part of the curriculum. In fact, it was my positive experiences at these schools that led me to the Holy Cross website when I did a Google search for “good Catholic colleges.” For twelve years, my academic training was closely tied to Catholic teachings, which is why I wanted to go to a religious school and why I hope to one day teach in a Catholic school (although I am not opposed to the 'education).
