"I find myself continually drawing on the knowledge and skills I acquired at Heritage, often in surprising, unexpected ways, as I wade through my college career. I have been rescued from more than a few all-nighters by Heritage, knowing that the reading to be discussed tomorrow is something I have already discussed in the past. I became the resident grammarian, thesaurus, and proofreader in my dormitory last year. I had a professor ask me to lead a review session for his final exam, something with which I was familiar from Heritage, and I astonished my microeconomics professor when I told him I had read Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations. The more important ways in which Heritage has equipped me for college may not all be discovered until later in my life; the ways I have already witnessed, however, are numerous and much appreciated."
