Why did you choose to attend UM?
I chose to attend the University of Mississippi because of its rich environment, strong academic programs and opportunities for growth. The University offers so much in terms of education, with the best professors around and resources that will not only help me as a college student but as an adult as well. The welcoming community and school spirit also drew me in and it's an atmosphere where I feel at home.
What can you tell a high school student about your FASTrack experience?
As a junior in FasTrack, I would tell a high school student to join. It has definitely made my college experience better and easier. From the smaller classroom sizes to academic mentors who actually care about you not only just as a college student but as a person, it is definitely worth joining. FasTrack is like a big family and it has helped me a lot with college.
What is one thing you wish you knew as an incoming freshman that you'd tell your past self?
One thing I wish I knew as an incoming freshman was that I’d tell my past self is that it’s okay to ask for help. The type of person I am is that I don’t like asking for help because I think it shows a sign of weakness, but now being in college and been here for a while, that’s farther from the truth. There are tons of resources available and that’s what they are there for- to be used. From the writing center to the Ideal Lab in the library, tuition covers it so use it.
