I wouldlike to be a foreign diplomat to a western European country andget involved in international politics.”O’Gorman also traveled to Italy in the summer of 2005 on a youthgroup trip through his parish.

about five. Based on the athletic programhere and the opportunity to be apart of thehonors program, I decided on Walsh,” saidRossi. “I like the freedom to be creative here.I think, especially in my marketing courses,that Walsh really encourages creativity andimagination, which I feel are important partsof business. I think that these are criticalaspects that many schools don’t take the timeto focus on. I feel that Walsh gives you thechance to expand on more than the basics.”lies, because after 3 or 4 years of collegeyou’re going to end up studying somethingthat you don’t even care about and thenend up with a job that makes you whateveramount of money but you’re not going tobe happy. I couldn’t picture myself doingsomething like that, and this is the time thatI’m taking to prepare. I still hang out withmy friends and do my thing, but now is thetime for me to prepare for my future.”O’Gorman recalls, “I love being completelysubmerged in a different culture and thehistory, especially since part of my familycame from Italy. In Rome, I enjoyed justbeing in the shadow of St. Peter’s Basilica,with the Vatican there, with our home atCastel Gandolfo right down the street fromwhere the Pope was the entire summer. Wecould walk 10 minutes down the street andbe right outside the Pope’s door. We got to goto a Benediction in the court yard. It blowsyour mind to be that close to the centerof the Catholic faith. That was one of themost rewarding experiences for me.”Prior to crossing the globe, both Rossi andO’Gorman first had to find their way toWalsh, a trip neither regrets.“I had been looking at a lot of differentschools and I had narrowed it down toO’Gorman came to know Walsh the waymany are beginning to learn about Walsh.“My parents both graduated from here – myuncle as well.” William O’Gorman Sr. is a1980 graduate of then Walsh College.

I feel like college is a big step ingaining more responsibility – you have to becompletely self sufficient. I think you reallyneed to be cognizant of what’s important inyour life, being conscience of the fact thatin four years you’re going to be out in thereal world, as scary as that may sound. It’s asignificant adjustment to prepare for.”“Go where your interests lie – where yourheart is,” said O’Gorman. “I can’t picturemyself doing anything but what I love.
