I was able to use the basic rules and general knowledge I learned in my classes in a real-world setting. It also gave me the chance to explore whether I was on the right career path.
College is not as scary or hard as some people make it out to be. Apply and trust yourself to handle it and learn from the experiences. Study hard but find time to enjoy the present, because before you know it, it will all be done.
Once I started reaching out to people on other teams and in my classes, that’s what really made my time here amazing.
It’s extremely important to build a network of people that you trust and who trust you. Having the initiative to step up and do something beyond your role is the best way to move forward.
The ability to manage my time and be able to work with others are two of the key skills I was able to take from my school environment and apply to my work life.
