How did you decide on your major?
Taking ICL was my first step into deciding on a major. And through that course I was able to discover and learn more about myself. It mostly confirmed that what I thought about myself was true. Another aspect that helped me chose my major was talking to various students and faculty. Asking students what they were interested and why and how they discovered those things. By talking to faculty I was able to better understand the path I need to take to get to where I want to be in the end. And of course, taking the SII and MBTI assessments at Career Services contributed to this process.
What has been the best experience of college for you?
The opportunities and experiences I have been able to grab a hold of. It's been a whole different world where I have been able to become a well rounded, educated person. Learning about people's different view points and backgrounds has been one of the best learning opportunities I have been given.
Any words of wisdom for students deciding on a career?
You can never ask too many questions. The more you ask, the more you will learn about what is out there and what you could be capable of accomplishing. Getting involved in your life is the best thing a person could do. No matter how a person takes the initiative to get involved, as long as they are doing things that will better their future.
