His act of compassion and generosity stemmed from a place of gratitude.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am extremely blessed to have the privilege to attend Trinity-Pawling. A lot of people don&#8217;t have the opportunity to attend a private institution and I believe it\u2019s important to acknowledge this and give back to the community in any way we can,\u201d he shared. \u201cGod has been very good to me and I\u2019m very thankful for my many blessings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Caruso enjoys the subject of history and plays baseball, snowboards, and is a skilled mountain biker for the Pride.
