This past 2017-2018 year was my first year in college. There were many things I learned and enjoyed. My main focus was on school, but getting through the courses was still difficult. Even though the classes were difficult, taking them made me strengthen my ideas for my future. I really do enjoy learning about various sciences, and I hope I can become better at them. I also joined a few clubs, where I met many sweet people. I wasn’t able to go to as many club meetings as I would have liked, but with club swimming, I got to go to Atlanta for nationals! I also was able to experience many different events and people through HSS. And although I had stuggled with courses, I have learned about study strategies that work and don’t work for me. This first year was a learning experience and I’m glad I was able to get through it with the help of new friends.
