Encouragement to pursue her dream

During a tour at another college, I asked about an animal nutrition course, which is required by many schools to become a veterinarian. Rather than giving me an answer, the professor shut me down and told me that because of the small job field I鈥檇 go nowhere. I was devastated.

When I first toured 91色情片, I was apprehensive. Once I entered the Science and Engineering building, I saw the school differently. I could picture myself walking down those halls to class.

I decided to take a chance and ask the same question. This time, the professor not only answered my question, but also gave me sources and said that some students here had done what I dream of doing鈥攇oing to veterinary school.

It was exactly what I wanted to hear, and I decided to go to UMassD.

Energy of the Corsair community

After making friends, I started seeing campus as more of a community than just a concrete college. I saw the determined students going to the library every day to study. I saw the organization tables in the campus center and felt the energy of the Corsair community.

Because of my experiences, I see the campus for what it really is, rather than just what it looks like.

If you only look on the outside of the buildings, you won鈥檛 see the passionate professors teaching what they love and helping students succeed. You wouldn鈥檛 see the students meeting in the library to study for exams or the smile on someone鈥檚 face when they finally understand a difficult concept after a tutoring session.

Opportunities for leadership

I joined rugby at the same time I joined Alpha Sigma Tau. Being part of a team was a huge part of my high school experience, and I wanted it to be a part of my college experience too. I was part of the team that went to Nationals in 2015.

Because of rugby, I became more confident in myself and felt more ready to take on leadership positions in my sorority and in areas outside of Greek life.

Without athletics or that team atmosphere, I wouldn鈥檛 feel as confident and strong. I likely wouldn鈥檛 have tried new things such as applying for leadership positions.

Because of my experiences, I see the campus for what it really is, rather than just what it looks like.

Sharing the UMassD experience

I was an Orientation leader this summer. I gave new students their first real UMassD experience. During their two days with me, I was able to make them feel less nervous about coming to campus.

I never imagined the impact I鈥檇 have. I鈥檓 still good friend with some of the students and a few always say hello whenever we see each other.

I鈥檝e become a better leader as a result and have applied for other positions to help more students.

Goal of becoming a veterinarian & author

I鈥檝e always loved science. I grew up watching The Magic School Bus during breakfast, and I think that really impacted my love of science from a young age. It was my favorite subject in school, so it only made sense for me to major in a science: biology.

While some aspects of the major are difficult, I can truly say I love what I do because I know it鈥檚 leading me toward fulfilling my goals.

My dream, if I鈥檓 fortunate enough, is to become a successful, well-known veterinarian and bestselling author. I want to be happy with my life and endeavors.
