Why did you choose to attend UM?
I chose to attend The University of Mississippi because of all of the strong academic programs and organizations they had to offer. I knew that this would be a great place for me to grow personally, academically, and professionally. The beautiful campus and the endless opportunities most definitely closed the deal!
What can you tell a high school student about your FASTrack experience?
With my FASTrack experience, I have really learned how important it is to speak of your feelings as well as some of the things you may be going through. In the beginning, I thought that I could handle everything on my own, but I quickly found out that opening up to teachers, counselors, and advisors made such big difference. The support and opportunities they have and can find for you are endless. Never hesitate to talk to those around you, I am telling you from lots of personal experience!
What is one thing you wish you knew as an incoming freshman that you'd tell your past self?
I would tell myself to really embrace getting involved in activities and clubs. I was super focused on just my job and classes, but joining different groups can help you grow socially (coming from a not so social person). It is just a great way to meet new people and find what you are passionate about.
