I wanted to transfer out of Brown during my freshman year, but I thank God for guiding me to stay. I’ve met the most talented, funny, tapped, and intelligent people I will ever know. It gave me brothers for life through LXi and a family across the globe. I will love this school for the rest of my life ❤️🐻

Those who made my experience what it was, I have nothing but gratitude for your presence.
