Personal Narrative: Welcome Rudy Ruettiger
Sixth grade was nearing the end - my cousin who attended St. Joseph Central Catholic in Fremont, Ohio was signed up to serve a dinner for a fund raiser they were holding. They were in need of extra help so my cousin asked me to help out. The attraction to get people to attend the dinner was the guest speaker, who at the time I had know idea who it was and didn't even ask. I needed service hours for Confirmation so I told my cousin I would help.
Upon arrival, the banner at the entrance read "Welcome Rudy Ruettiger". I couldn't believe what I was reading. My heart started racing! This was someone I had always admired and now I get to hear him speak.
It was my late Grandfather who introduced me to the story of Rudy. He bought me the movie because he knew my love for Notre Dame and football. Watching the movie weekly for years became a ritual in my family household. The more I watched the movie, the more I started to adapt to Rudy's ways. We actually had a lot it common. My parents have always instilled to my siblings and I that hard work and determination will prevail.

It was that night I learned about the college. As my father and I always parked at the Holy Cross campus to go to the football games I really liked the feel of everything and could one day picture myself on these grounds. One thing that I always liked about this college was that, it was not too big or too small it was just right and fit me well. Every time my dad and I needed directions or short cuts to the games, many of the times it was the Holy Cross students and they were very polite and helpful. Another thing that I had always planned to do when I go to college was do my best to make it to a catholic college because my faith is what shapes me and is what makes me the hardworker and persistent person I am. If accepted into Holy Cross not only would it be an honor but I would take great pride and do everything I can to
