Describe your college experience

I had to take time to learn my community, however, there are so many opportunities to get to know people at this school and there are many ways I loved to get involved and push myself out of my comfort zone.

Tip for future students

Really put yourself out there and get to know people.

Favorite class

My favorite class so far has been Spanish Literature: 1900s to Modern Literature in Latin America because the teacher was a fantastic teacher and had a great way of explaining things that would make you have a different perspective than you previously did.

Career goals

I want to attend medical school.

Ideal way to spend a free night

With friends​/​going to events or possibly relaxing in my room after a long day.

High school or secondary school

Hendersonville High School

Favorite spot on campus

My favorite spot on campus is the BCC because it is a cultural building where my community can gather and relax.
