This past fall semester has been a different experience than that of my freshman year. While it has been challenging, I have continued to grow as a person and a student. This semester I changed my major from Biological Science to Mechanical Engineering. I realized I no longer had the drive for a future in the biology field, but I had a newfound interest in engineering. While this transition has been demanding, I thoroughly enjoyed my introduction into the field of engineering and look forward to my future as an engineer! This semester I also became a math tutor for Clemson’s Academic Success Center. I worked around eight hours a week tutoring Calculus One students. This has been a wonderful opportunity as I have built connections with my fellow peer leaders and with my students. It has also required me to improve upon my time management, leadership, and communication skills which will better prepare me for my future. I did not realize how much I would build a relationship with the students I have tutored. I would have many of the same people return each week and thoroughly enjoyed getting to know them over the semester. I plan on tutoring again in the spring and I am excited to have this opportunity again. Overall, I have had an amazing fall semester and I am so grateful I have found where I am supposed to be at Clemson University. I have come back to campus more established and ready to tackle new obstacles and opportunities. I have been fortunate enough to live off campus with two of my closest friends. This has also been a few sources of responsibility, but I have enjoyed the freedom and ability to make my own food! All of this would not be possible without the MVYouth, so thank you for all that you do!
