“Four years ago, when I walked into O’Dowd, I was pretty<br />
scared and I didn’t know too much about how to work a<br />
system like this on such a grand scale. Now, I really feel like<br />
I can take on the world.”<br />
Jasmine ’<strong>20</strong><br />
“Ever since I entered the doors of O’Dowd I have been<br />
challenged to become the best version of myself, especially<br />
through my academics and art courses. I am allowed to<br />
explore my identity and express myself comfortably. In taking<br />
courses such as Advanced Spanish 2 and Honors English,<br />
I am able to push myself to learn from mistakes with a<br />
growth mindset.”<br />
Abigail ’<strong>20</strong><br />
“O’Dowd welcomes creativity, diversity, and ingenuity. I am<br />
able to discover new qualities and interests within myself<br />
that I was not expecting from high school. I become a<br />
better version of myself every day from the classroom to the<br />
basketball court, to deepening my relationship with God.”<br />

“Through O’Dowd, I have been able to discover and pursue<br />
my passions in both science and service. My AP Biology class<br />
constantly challenged and improved my scientific and critical<br />
thinking skills. The service-learning projects have given me<br />
opportunities to form connections with people in vulnerable<br />
populations—great people I wouldn’t have met otherwise.”<br />

“Coming from a small school where I did not feel like I<br />
belonged, O’Dowd has an amazing community that is<br />
welcoming to every student.”<br />
Sebastian ’<strong>20</strong><br />
“O’Dowd has provided me with the essential tools to explore<br />
my curiosities in STEM and the arts. O’Dowd’s supportive<br />
teachers and classmates help me to thrive academically by<br />
contributing to a healthy learning environment where we<br />
work to overcome challenges together. Clubs such as the<br />
Latinos Unidos, the Dragon Ambassadors, and sports teams<br />
have allowed me to embrace my leadership potential and<br />
discover my personal passions.”<br />
