Please choose one of Nazareth’s Four Pillars (Scholarship, Service, Spirit, Unity) and describe what it means to you.
I believe Service is the most important pillar because that is the whole Mission of Jesus and the main message for His disciples: to speak through your actions and help the poor. Service is a very important part of my life because it makes me feel as though I am contributing to the world and helping it become a better place.

I like to play the ukulele. I’ve lived in Italy and I have never seen the movie ”Mean Girls!”
