Over
the years, through activities at Regis High School, ski racing, service on
the board of Children’s Hospital, and various organizations here on
campus (i.e. Knights of Columbus and Social Mentors), I have retained a
passion for helping others embrace as unique what sets them apart as
individuals. Merely in striving to help them accomplish this, I realize I
have invited them to find God in their differences and handicaps and, thus, in
all things. I have always believed that wherever good can be found,
so too can God, and vice versa. This belief continually compels me to
encounter God’s hand in an area of my life where many overlook it: my
gait. Though the way in which I move is easily my most distinctive feature and
does not come without certain setbacks, it remains something for which I give
daily thanks to God and everyone around me. My gait more often than not allows
me to bring out the best in those I love and in those whom I meet on
campus each day. In bringing out the best in those I love and
encounter, I am hopefully better able find God in those people whom I
often find it more difficult to love and to embrace.
