During my time in college I seek to gain three things: hard technical skills, a better understanding of who I want to be, and lifelong relationships. Being a part of the Business Honors Program has allowed me to gain a better grasp on technical skills. As a part of the program, I am able to apply the skills I learn quickly through group projects. I am challenged to think of the values that are important to me, and how they will affect my future. I thought I knew what I wanted coming into college, but have realized that priorities can change very quickly. Most importantly I wish to gain relationships that will last for a long time. It is easy to make a network if you go to enough events or speakers, but to build relationships is messy and it takes time. I want to experience the mess, and find the beauty within that imperfection. I want to gain friendships that connect on a deep level, and through knowing people well, be able to challenge and encourage them in whatever they have next.
