Hello, my name Is Braden, and I've found a place to live out my faith and enjoy life here in Auburn. I'm a Introverted extrovert, and I love chess, martial arts, going on long walks, riding bikes a little too fast at Chewacla state park, and generally enjoying my college life while trying to show people Christ.

Describe your college experience

My transition to college felt like I was becoming more than I used to be, and growing into a better version of myself. I felt like my freedom could be used for good, and it was.

Tip for future students

Actively maintain your math skills over the summer. Also when you get here, either get into a study group or go to supplemental instruction classes. The difference between college and High school is that the smartest people in the room are the ones who put the effort in ( which is kind of shocking to new Auburn students who used to coast through their classes with a high A).

Favorite class

My favorite class has definitely been Tech and Civ 1. I absolutely loved getting to hear about the different eras of technology, and having the time to think about how that changed the world, I just absolutely loved this class. I'm in Tech and Civ 2 now because of my wonderful experience with the first class, and so far its been amazing.

Career goals

I want to work at a decently sized firm.

Ideal way to spend a free night

Going to a lame event with my friends where we laugh too hard and generally have a great time.

High school or secondary school
