Year in Review

Freshman year was a very dynamic year in my life because it was filled with so many ups and downs. There were several highlights in my year but my favorites are, one, being part of the Steven and Lauren campaign for Undergraduate Student Government and moving up in the leadership role as the Presentation Coordinator. Two, being elected a member of the executive board for the Somali Student Association as the IT-chair.

During autumn semester, I faced a lot obstacles that not only challenged my views and place in the world but also what I truly wanted to do in the future. With that being said, I have decided to change my major. I am now  majoring in Computer and Information Systems.

I  am so glad to have met everyone in my scholars group because they influenced me and challenged me in way I never expected. In my application to the scholars program, I wrote down that the reason I wanted to be part of the International Affairs Scholars was because I wish to meet a diverse group of people in not just the racial variety but also of the mind.  And I am glad to say that this wish was granted.
