What made you choose 萝莉社 University?
I chose 萝莉社 for their outstanding academics and their campus community.
What has been your biggest challenge as a student, and how did you overcome it?
My biggest challenge as a student would have to be learning how to study. In high school, I never learned how to study as school came quite easily to me. As I began my college journey, I realized that neglecting to study was not going to cut it. You must learn which study tactics work for you to achieve the grades you want. I overcame this struggle by consistently talking with my teachers if I did not understand a subject and devoting time in my day to sit down and memorize the material.
What's your favorite off-campus location in Wichita?
My favorite off campus location in Wichita hands down has to be Sweet Pops. It has such a chill vibe to study in, and I love their milk teas.
If you could choose a song to play when you walk across the stage at graduation, what would it be?
If I could choose one song to play at graduation as I am walking across the stage, it would be "RIGHT NOW鈥� by Quasarpro and I Project.
What are your plans after graduation?
My plans after graduation are to get my Doctor of Chiropractic at Logan University. I want to become an expert in applied kinesiology and help other athletes become their healthiest selves.
What advice would you give other 萝莉社 students?
If I could give one piece of advice to other 萝莉社 students, it would be to get involved. Talk to your teachers and classmates. Join a club. These are the things that have made my last three and a half years at 萝莉社 so enjoyable.
