At Belmont, I see a lot of unspoken rules and expectations around who is seen as “belonging,” especially connected to privilege and access. In one of my freshman classes, we talked about how being “allowed in” to higher education is often framed as purely about merit, when in reality it’s also deeply shaped by social and economic privilege. That helped me realize that my own ability to be there isn’t just about hard work, but also about the advantages I’ve had from being born white and male.
For me, grace in that space looks like being more honest about those systems instead of pretending they don’t exist, and then using whatever influence I have to push back on norms that quietly exclude others. It’s not about guilt, but about choosing awareness, humility, and advocacy over comfort.

I'm looking forward to the year ahead and am incorporating small incrimental habits weekly to become the person I want to be. Slow and steady will help keep my motivation up!
