"That moment, that walking sign means so much to me

because while I'm just rushing, that is the thing that I have

to wait on. I give part of life just waiting. In comparison to

someone who is waking to chipotle, it may not be an urgent

matter."

"It's that sense of community that you can create. This is a

Jesuit university, this is America. Our country has less than

1% Muslims overall. But it's having that opportunity to

find people who have shared values and practices and

being able to take part in them with them."

"I think, what photography stands for is capturing that

one moment. That's really important for me. I

remember when someone does something for me I

try to store it in my head for as long as possible

because when you have those downhill spirals, it's

those thoughts and memories that keep you going."

"I talked about community and everything, but then at

the same time, what I'm here for is to study. Even when I

don't want to, like when there is something going on,

sometimes you just have to prioritize and choose… As a

student, often the demand is there for you to make those

choices."

"I always had the need to stand up for justice, but

I never got the change to educate myself or had

the time to educate myself. Over the summer I

did about several different things. It really opens

your eyes. That sense of responsibility is within

me."

Note: This is not the original artifact. The original artifact was a photo album (to represent my student’s passion for photography). Each of these slides accurately reflects one of the pages of the photo album.
