"Though the ILR legacy runs strong in my family, with both my father and brother being ILRies (and my mom has basically become one), I was able to choose to continue that legacy. Being given the freedom to choose ILR without feeling pressure from my family made me love every part of the school because I am here due to my own free will, yet I have unconditional support in my journey here. I know I can rely on anyone in ILR for support and that they want to see me follow in footsteps of success, just like the rest of my family. As ILR continues on in decades of progress, I hope that students new and old get to feel the same sense of family and support from everyone in ILR that I've had the fortune of experiencing."
