Favorite Class: I would consider my favorite class to be Fundamentals of Biology 1 Lecture. This is simply because of the teacher, Dr. Persad. Despite being a tough teacher I felt her teaching methods and explanation of the materials allowed for me to truly grasp the concepts of biology, and made me feel like I was actually learning.

Favorite Place on Campus: I would consider my favorite place on campus the Track. Considering the fact that I am a track and field athlete, I am often there with my teammates practicing. I really like the dynamic of the team and the way I can dedicate myself to the sport, the track symbolizes that idea for me. The sport helps me be who I am, and through that the track emboldens that concept.

Clubs/Organizations: I feel the most prominent organization I belong to is the Track and Field team for Ramapo. It has been something that I’ve been doing since 8th grade and track has become a fundamental characteristic of mine. I find it to be a great cause of my strengths and without it I would not be able to be as successful without it.

Future Plans: I have a lot of ideas, not sure about full fledged plans. I would love to study abroad or do some medical and sport like type internships over the summers to help broaden my experiences. I would like to go to graduate school and work on going into the world of Sports Medicine.

Advice for First-Year Students: Do not be afraid to get yourself out there. As an introvert myself I personally love to sit back and do absolutely everything out of the spotlight, however that doesn’t mean you have to limit yourself to sitting alone all day. Find what you enjoy and go out and engage in it. Find people who are like minded and do something with them. Do not just sit back and let your life unfold without any of your involvement. You don’t want to look back and relive a life that you could have had, so make sure to go out and live life with as little regrets as possible.
