All of my professors truly cared about my success in academics as well as my success in life. I was not just taking a class that these individuals were teaching. These individuals were placed in my path to guide me to meet my greatest potential as a future teacher in health and physical education as well as an industrious person in society.”

My time at GWU taught me to be adaptable and to be grounded in my faith. I had to trust the process. God put me at GWU for a reason—in this environment that was going to allow me to really appreciate my faith more than ever.”
