My first year of college had it’s ups and downs but overall a lot of growth took place. I have learned how to be a better student, friend and individual.
As a student, this year has taught me how to manage my time better, which ways of studying work best for me and the importance of staying on top of my school work. I am better prepared for my second year of college and have a better idea of how to be successful in my classes.
As a friend, this year has taught me how to be a good listener the importance of hard conversations, and how to be honest and vulnerable. I have learned how much stronger a friendship can be when you talk about the hard stuff. I have also learned the importance for me to be listened to but also the importance to listen to what my friends have to say to.
As an individual, this year has taught me how giving back to your community is important and how my life should be centered around serving others. I know because of these things, I changed my major and what I want my career to look like.
