Favorite Time at SCSU
I really loved all my four years at Southern! My favorite part of time at SCSU was making such amazing and long-lasting friendships that I'll cherish forever! My biggest highlight was playing Frisbee every afternoon with my fellow research interns during IAF Internship (Summer 2019).
What are you going to miss the most, and what are you looking forward to the most?
I'm going to miss the most - hanging out with my friends and fellow classmates. Those were some of the best times of my four years at SCSU. I really loved attending all different events hosted by student organizations and clubs and will definitely miss those a lot. I'm looking forward to working as an Ophthalmic Scribe at Consulting Ophthalmologists with different subspecialty ophthalmologists and gaining clinical experience. I'm looking forward to start a new chapter in my life - to attend medical school and become a pediatrician!
Advice to Incoming Students
Make the most of your time at SCSU! Set goals for yourself and make it happen! Don't be afraid to seek out help when needed, regardless of academic help or not.
