My Semester Reflection

I feel like freshman year has been a time of growth—both academic and personal--lessons learned, and a time for trying new things. There were a lot of important academic and social milestones as well. For example, I think that I excelled in my classes and put in much more time and effort than ever needed in high school. This year was much more academically difficult, but I would say that I rose to the challenge, and even excelled! I was recommended to be a learning assistant and given a opportunity as a lab assistant in the fall. I earned the treasurer executive board position for next school year on the FGCU Women’s Lacrosse team. I served as council delegate for Palmetto Hall’s area council. I attended society of women engineers and wildlife club meetings. I also attended lots of Honors College events and was a member of the manatee house. I dipped my toe in the water of research with a graduate student. I met many amazing professors, and I am excited to meet more. And I made lots of friends! Moving forward, I am excited to be an engineering ambassador next year, have a job as a lab assistant, and be treasure for the lacrosse team while also working hard academically to excel in my coursework. My main takeaway from this year is that I want to get involved in several opportunities, because I enjoy trying new things and I already have a lot of pride for attending FGCU. Overall, I want to make the most of my time as a student here at FGCU!
