Reflection QuestionsWhat would you change about your UC experience?
If given the opportunity, there would be very little that I would wish to change about my UC experience. Namely, I would hope that I would have extended myself to fully appreciate and take on a breadth of experiential learning opportunities as early as possible in my collegiate career. Secondly, I would make sure that I was more consistent and vigilant in ensuring that the opportunities and responsibilities to which I commit my time are in line with my own goals, passions and vision. What experiences wouldn't you trade for anything? There are two types of experiences that I would not trade for anything in the world: any travel and any experiences with my three best friends. With travel, I would never trade my experiences because I firmly believe that travel of any nature provides a profoundly new experience each and every time in life. When I consider and reflect upon my lifetime, the clearest memories are ones spent outside the context of my day-to-day life. In turn, each of my most profound moments of growth and happiness are ones spent with my three closest friends. I can say without hesitation or fear of contradiction that these three men will be ones with whom I am lifelong friends, and for that reason I would never trade any of our experiences together. What is your favorite story to tell on a tour or an experience you share that always seems to get a great reaction from guests? An experience that always seems to get a great reaction from guests is actual a type of experience that I love to share: travel. Whether it is a basketball game in Memphis or a study abroad trip to London, time that I spend off of UC's campus is often the time and experiences that seem to excite guests the most. They love to hear about examples of me making the most out of my time in college by engaging in travel. Have you made any progress on your three goals during the #SnowWeek? I have been very purposeful in my performance of an act of kindness or gratitude every day since making my goal. I have committed strongly to expressing gratitude on a much more regular basis to those around me, and I feel that it has improved my own life as well as the culture of my environments. I have not yet set a healthy lifestyle goal, but I have cooked more this week and worked to eat more vegetables and balanced meals. Finally, I have set a specific time to sit down with a wonderful friend and work on my interdisciplinary studies proposal in the near future, which is one of the first steps in finalizing my academic path.
