I get to sit in classes with brilliant teachers and peers who inspire me and challenge me to my intellectual limits. I have great opportunities to try out things that I have never done before.

Holderness has made it possible for me to express who I am as a person. I have become someone who is not afraid to join in on the conversation and say what’s on my mind.
