easier to understand who I am today and why that is. Since moving away to attend Creighton University‚ I have become the laughingstock of my family. Firstly‚ because I live in a place where corn is the most exciting thing happening. Secondly‚ because I seem to have become the caroler of Jesuit values. This is especially amusing to my friends and family back home for they knew me before I made the transition to Creighton life; they knew the “old” me. As deep as that may sound‚ I have truly taken these
