During this past semester at Trinity College, I spent my time observing and exploring fascinating academic courses and new social dynamics. At first, I was overwhelmed with all the possible opportunities that Trinity had to offer. However, within a few short days, I began to dip my toes in recreational activities such as cycling and Zumba, volunteering as a Trinity student writer for Society 6 magazine, and taking the college bus to the renown Wadsworth Atheneum of Art in Hartford. Despite being comfortable in my little bubble on Martha's Vineyard, I have a new perspective on life in a big city. Throughout my senior year, I had never pictured myself going to a small 2,282 person liberal arts student school. However, once I touched foot as a freshmen student on campus, I couldn't be happier about my college decision. Being in a small environment where people root for each other, want each other to succeed, and care about each other is truly special. The liberal arts program has allowed me to dip my toes in all subjects. Even though I came into college interested in a specific major, I quickly developed interests in other subjects. This semester I had the opportunity to learn enticing information in Art History on The Pietà St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City and the Staford Prison Experiment in my Games of Strategy Seminar. The various amount of small size classes in all subjects at Trinity encourages me to collaborate with my classmates while discovering what I want to concentrate on for the next four years. Within a few days at Trinity, I was able to step out of my comfort zone and build strong connections with my classmates, professors, and college community. With the help from MVYouth, I am able to find academically-minded people who will push me to work hard, and also motivate me to be the best version of myself. Without this experience, I would not have been able to build this amazing network that I can reach out to in the future. Now nothing is stopping me from being successful.
