"Trying to summarize what I loved best about the studying Philosophy at Misericordia is really hard. The teachers are really what made the experience and set our department apart from other schools. I still keep in regular contact with all of them, and visit whenever I can.

Furthermore, we created a student organization called the Blades of Athena, with the goal of applying philosophy to real life. Philosophy as a whole is often critiqued for being too ivory tower, or too apart from the reality of daily life. The Blades is all about bringing the best things about philosophy to people in their everyday lives.

As far as preparing for my future, I went on to study law at the Beasley School of Law at Temple University. I am focused on international law and in the international law arena it is vital to know and understand philosophy.

"Being a philosophy major has fundamentally transformed my life for what I believe to be the better. I always wonder how many people can say their college major impacted them in such a powerful way. Of course part of this impact is due to the incredible faculty that work to teach these philosophic concepts to students, but a large part of this is the nature of philosophy itself.

Philosophy provides a passion for learning that does not limit your future, but on the contrary exponentially expands it. With a passion for learning, an individual can excel at any career or life path they choose to put their mind to. I would encourage any incoming college students to consider philosophy as a major, and learn to put themselves in control of their future."
