Spirt runs through our families.

Purdue has a way of connecting our family members together. Most people I have talked to have mentioned that they are here because it has been a family tradition to attend Purdue University after high school. No one from my family ever came here to Purdue, but my family has always supported my decision. They all have bough t-shirts and watch all the sports games on TV. My mom flew down and surprised me in the beginning of this year. Even if it is not a family tradi-

tion, Purdue accepts all families and makes us apart of their family.
