I feel very happy, excited, and thankful to be here at Southern Connecticut State University.  This has been a great experience so far and I have met so many new friends beginning with my Orientation in May, I found that there are so many activities in college and different clubs I am able to join.  Since my classes end by 1:00 every afternoon, I want to join a club to keep myself busy. I am living on campus in Neff Hall and therefore there are so many ways to become involved at campus.  For example, I am very interested in the Programs Council club, which is an event planning club and would be beneficial for my major.  At the club fair, I also signed up for a sorority.  Ever since I was young, I swam on swim teams and I would like to continue to swim even in the recreational facility.   Welcome Weekend here at Southern was very entertaining and the school held events for the students to get to know each other better as well as the campus.  It is important to balance both extracurricular activities with my class work and I have always been a very diligent and hard working student.  My family values education.  My sister graduated from the University of Connecticut with a Bachelor’s Degree in May 2012 and a Master’s Degree in May 2013 and my parents also attended college.  I know that it is a great deal of work to attend college, including classwork, homework, reading, essays, and assignments.  I am a very organized person and I plan to study every day.  My major is Communication and when I graduate, I plan on living in Los Angeles, California or New York City for my career.  I want to be very successful and I know that a positive attitude and a college degree are vital.
