At BCU, I learned how to be a leader. I also learned there are many different paths to take to achieve my goals. I even became more in-tune with the community where I live.
Everyone at BCU is friendly and eager to help. Professors are very professional and treat students with respect and dignity. My professors believed in me and never gave up on me, especially Vali Sorathia of whom I really grew fond. Vali would never let me fail. He brought out the best in me and kept me motivated to become successful. That’s what I expect from my teachers – to believe in me and to never give up.
My experience attending Briar Cliff was fantastic. In addition to receiving a quality education, which is priceless to me, I evolved, matured and grew as a person.
