“I’m really interested in people, getting to learn what makes people them. I like hearing their stories and learning from them, learning what they can teach me from their life experiences that are different from my own. I’m interested in networking, seeing friends in line connect with other friends in line and just building my social circle. But I’m really interested in families and relationships. Hence, I’ll be going into MFT where I get to explore the different dynamics of the family system that affect pretty much every aspect of a person’s life.
One of the best parts about Wheaton is that I’m able to connect with professors and staff on a very personal level where they’re able to mentor me one on one outside of the classroom. That’s primarily where I learn from them is outside the classroom, getting to hear their struggles and how, like how they dealt with them. It kinda gives me some mechanisms or tools to use when I’m in hard times or just how to go through college finding a good group of people that are able to build me up and invest into me. The fact that we have small groups on campus where I’m able to just be vulnerable with a couple guys my age and there be no judgment of any sorts and no pressure to perform."
