Describe your college experience

I was both nervous and excited to start college. I was excited to have independent, but was worried about my time management among other things. I have ADHD, so I was worried that I would struggle staying on top of my work. As I started college, I flourished with my new found freedom. I got to make many new friends, and learn how to balance my school and social life.

Tip for future students

Please get to know your professors. The better they know you, the more likely they are to accommodate you under extenuating circumstances. Always check rate my professor as well. Don’t be afraid to ask for help when you need it, use your schools resources to have the best college experience you can.

Favorite class

My favorite class I have had so far was a projects class because we got to make a product to fill a need. I loved it because it was so hands on, and it forced me to learn many new skills.

Career goals

I hope to work some where that I can create and innovate rather than sit in a cubicle.

Ideal way to spend a free night

I enjoy getting together with my friend to do anything. Whether we stay in or go out, I have a great time either way.

High school or secondary school

Favorite spot on campus

My favorite spot is the hill because it has so much great food.
