in my school’s pre-K led to an opportunity to volunteer in the after-school program for kids every weekday, and that became my plan for almost every day of my high school career. In my first year of high school, I took a mandatory course called Freshman Seminar. Truthfully, I don’t remember much of it except for one moment sometime in December.

Before I entered the Freshman Inquiry, Work of Art, I had no idea what to expect. My assumptions were that the class is what its name is, a course that primarily focuses on the studies and works of art while providing a platform for freshman students to help their transition in college. Though I had some accuracy in my expectations, the class went above and beyond, which made my learning experience as a student and as an individual more impactful.

Since the beginning of Freshman year I realized that education is a really important foundation to reach my educational goals. One of them is to become an outstanding student in which I can be a role model to my sibling or those who consider their education is not crucial to their lives.

(aka Evans, Lewis, and Wilson) And although not technically a HUD dorm, Ferrin is also a wonderful choice for a freshman.
