When did you know <strong>Prep</strong> was right for you?<br />

I knew <strong>Prep</strong> was the right fit for me on the first day <strong>of</strong><br />

school, after going through the classes and getting to know<br />

my classmates and teachers. After the first week, I knew I<br />

wasn’t going anywhere. This was the place for me.<br />

Why did you choose <strong>Prep</strong>?<br />

I always knew that I was going to come to <strong>Prep</strong>. After<br />

meeting my Big Brother and playing football, I knew this<br />

was it. I lived right by UNO, so I went to <strong>Prep</strong> football<br />

games all the time. I had some cousins that went to <strong>Prep</strong>,<br />

and it always had the label <strong>of</strong> the top school in Nebraska.<br />

I always knew that’s where I wanted to go.<br />
