After finishing up the first semester of senior year, I can’t believe how fast it has gone by. I have been fortunate enough to have all my classes be in-person as well as living on campus again. One of my favorite classes from this past semester was Rhetorical Traditions. In this class we learned about and discussed theories of rhetoric spanning from ancient civilizations to the present day. We went in depth on the role that rhetoric plays in society, as well as the important part that ethics has in the analysis of rhetoric. I found the class material to be relevant to our society today and I enjoyed engaging in our class discussions. I also took Corporate Finance and Investments which furthered my understanding of these topics for my minor in Finance. Going into my final semester I am taking both International Finance and International Trade to complete the requirements for my major in Economics as well as my minor in Finance. I have also continued to be a part of both BC Bigs as well as working in the Scouting & Personnel Department for BC Football. For BC Bigs I was able to meet with my “Little” Adrian for the first time in-person since the outbreak of the pandemic. I appreciate getting to spend time with him and I hope to continue to be in touch even after I graduate. This past season for football was an exciting one. Since people were allowed back into Alumni Stadium for games, I was able to work on the sidelines and have gameday responsibilities. In this past recruiting cycle, one of the commits was a player that I found. Doing this work is a passion of mine and I am thankful to have the chance to do so. These experiences are incredibly valuable to me and I would like to thank MVYouth for the work that they do to help give Island students the opportunity to pursue their passions.
