Individual Calling
Quote
Point Loma to me was the prototypical example of making wonderful friends, having wonderful mentors, and doing all those things that not every high schooler thinks about. They think, ‘Is the major going to be good? Am I going to be ready to make money when I graduate?’ Of course, ¹ú²ú¾çÂé¶¹¾ç does that, but it also set me on a good trajectory in life to not just have a profession but to be a good individual and find my calling
