My experience at Fairfield in the last year:
"My experience here at Fairfield so far has been an extremely positive one. Everything that I was looking for in a new school I have truly found here despite the restrictions that this pandemic has brought. I have met a new group of guys that are extremely caring and welcoming. My teammates and coaches have made the transition smooth and gave me a new home."
 
My biggest challenges/inspirations:
"The only real challenge that I have faced is struggling to socialize in groups of more than 10 due to the pandemic. I look forward to meeting more people here when things begin to open up more in the future."
 
My positive experiences this year:
"Getting to really meet my teammates on a personal level has been an extremely positive experience. I love seeing my family when they come up here and taking them to the beach makes me truly happy. Playing in games with my teammates has been an incredible experience as well and something we all cherish deeply after losing our season last year."
 
What inspired me to keep moving forward:  
"I've always had a strong belief in myself no matter what it is I'm doing in life. My mother telling me that she believes in me and wants me to be my best pushes me every day to keep going and never give up. Fairfield has given me the opportunity to work hard at a place I enjoy living."
