Oliver Bares

My name is Oliver Bares, I am a freshman at Babson College. Throughout my life I have been working not just as an employee and student, but for the benefit of people around me. I am someone who is trying to make a change in the world and leave an impact everywhere I go. Whether it's work, school, or a basketball game, I have always dedicated my full attention, effort, and commitment to everything I do. I am resourceful, innovative (always looking for a way to make things better), and have a positive attitude in life. I believe my skill set and commitment would make me a great addition to your team. I feel it is important to mention that I stutter which makes verbal communication very hard for me. However, it's important to understand that stuttering doesn't define me or make me any different from others in my ability to think, learn, or achieve. In fact, facing this challenge every day has made me work harder than most-it pushes me to continuously improve my speech, communicate more effectively, and build resilience.
