The best thing about Amherst may also be the worst thing about Amherst. This 'thing' is the impertinent lesson that I can do absolutely anything I set my mind to. Focussing on the upside, conviction in this mantra has made me more daring and wholly committed to following my passions in the name of 'saving the world.' In spite of my more rational side, at my core I believe that dedication, education and passion are appropriate tools to be successful both personally and on a more macro level. Amherst gave me this conviction and this audacity.
