"Boston College was always my dream school growing up. The Woods College gave me an opportunity to turn my dreams into a reality. It allowed me to continue my work at the YMCA as well pursue my degree in psychology. So far I'm truly passionate to be here at BC. The faculty is so caring for students and committed to their success. In addition to the resources it offers, BC gives me confidence that I'll be ready for my profession as a guidance counselor. I'm truly thankful for the opportunity and want to make great use of it so I can represent BC and WCAS in my professional and everyday life!"
