How have you been impacted by HHCA?

HHCA has surrounded me with close friends and an engaging learning environment for my entire academic career with fantastic mentors and many opportunities to succeed.

What will you miss most about HHCA?

I will miss the HHCA retreats. 

Is there an HHCA mentor, staff member or coach that has a particularly positive impact in your life? 

Mr. John Abbott had a positive impact on my life. Our discussions about life, politics, and really anything always brightens my day, and he is a very patient person. I loved having his class first thing in the morning!

"Pray about it, be patient with yourself, and try barrel racing."
