"One of the most significant aspects of my Xavier experience is how Xavier has prepared me for life outside of 16th Street. Xavier has taught me how to handle and persevere through difficulty in a variety of situations. I have been taught to overcome the challenges I face outside of 16th street both inside and outside of the classroom. Xavier has prepared me to face these challenges by teaching me valuable lessons that I will use throughout my life."
