"Spending time as an educator in the United States and abroad, I have seen the obstacles involved in providing quality access to education around the world firsthand. This, among other things, has made me more aware than ever of the great privilege to have had a private education at BCA. I often credit a large portion of my success at this point in my life to the firm foundation I received in high school. The small class sizes were beneficial not only because of the ability to get individualized attention from teachers, but also with the development of my leadership potential in a plethora of activities, athletics, and other opportunities available to students. Throughout my time in college, I often felt more prepared than some of my classmates because of the liberal arts approach to education and the emphasis on college readiness early on in our academic career. As an adult, I continue to be blessed by friendships that began at BCA because of how close-knit the student body is. For these reasons and more, I will be forever grateful for my time at BCA and the teachers that attributed to the successes in my life thus far."
