Converse College Experience

While enrolling in Converse College and taking student success seminar, I’ve learned about leadership, growth, and overall success.

I studied, took AP courses, applied for scholarships, etc. When attending Converse, I underwent changes in my schedule, living (residential), etc. Such changes were easy-going and more relaxed compared to high school, but the pressure of success increased. Aspects such as time management became crucial. As a response of not living at home and being an “adult”, I was granted freedom. Despite having more freedom, I was tested with procrastination, laziness, etc. Overall, I learned in college that such freedom comes responsibility.

To succeed in my majors, I first have to do well in my standard classes such as Fitness and Wellness or American History (classes that don’t contribute to my major). I personally believe such classes are stepping stones of furthering my knowledge and comprehension even if it doesn 't specifically correlate with my intended majors. While attending Converse, I have to keep a 3.5 or higher to keep all my scholarship; this pressure is intimidating, but this also contributes to my motivation for higher learning. During my college career, I hope to intern or work part time, so I can build my experience, connections, and
