A Chance to See What’s Out There

“Be a leader, not a follower. That’s what my mom used to tell me back when I was a kid growing up in the Tri-Taylor/North Lawndale neighborhood. My family was very protective of me and Midtown kept me out of trouble also.
“Once I was talking with a group of guys in the program about colleges. I hadn’t thought much about college yet and one of the older guys mentioned Benedictine University. I said I had never even heard of the place. One advisor told me, ‘Hey, it doesn’t matter if you never heard of it. It might be a great place for you.’ And years later, he was right. That’s where I went for my undergraduate degree.  “Midtown gives kids a chance to see what’s out there in the world.”
