I mean high school definitely had its difficulties—math tests were often a struggle and some projects were more involved than others—but there were definitely times where I could briefly skim material for a test and do just fine.

Your journey as a student will be different than mine because we’re different people, but opportunities for growth and community are everywhere -- you just have to have your eyes open to them.
This has literally been my favorite week of this entire year because it’s SPIRIT WEEK!!! SGA and the Alumni Association partnered together to get the campus community pumped for Homecoming and Parents Weekend by encouraging students, faculty, and staff to dress up each day!
