CSS has been a blessing to me ever since the first day when I interviewed for this program over the summer going into my freshman year. This program has given me a cohort of brothers that I have been lucky enough to go through college with. As I have aged, CSS has also given me the opportunity to pass down my knowledge to the younger generation. This is what I feel the program really is about. When I was a freshman, I looked up to the upperclassmen as my mentors. I tried to do what they did to achieve success like they did. Now I hope the younger generation looks up to me the same way.
