"Tufts has been a gold mine for me in terms of expanding my views and helping me see the world more clearly. My interactions with fellow students and others in the community have allowed me to understand how my own perspective adds to the mix; I appreciate that every individual brings something unique and the exchange of ideas sometimes allows for radical transparency and truth. That means a lot to me and it’s something I’ll always strive for."
