My advice to prospective students...

is to never give up! You will have your own unique trials along the way but just keep moving because it will be worth it at the end. It's all about the time and effort you put in. But don't forget to have fun along the process!

Favorite Class or Professor and Why

My favorite class is Organic 351. I would always underestimate myself because I heard it was a hard class. I used my own study strategies and was able to get an A. This taught me the lesson to always believe in yourself and ignore what others say, it's all about the time and effort you put in.

My most memorable UMBC experience was...

meeting my beautiful friends and they have all become a family now!

I was able to join activities I always wanted to and through them I was able to improve my confidence and leadership skills.
