Across the four years I've personally gotten to know which classes keep me on my toes with new information and which classes I dreaded to go to.

Everything I have partaken in have only shaped me to find what I truly want to become in the future, being that I find my true passion, serving others by being an effective leader, and using every aspect that I have absorbed to create the best future for myself.
