Favorite Time at SCSU
Reflecting on my journey at Southern, my favorite memories reside in the chapters of my junior and senior years (2022-2024). These pivotal years marked a profound period of self-discovery and growth. Immersing myself in campus life, from serving on executive boards to embracing academic challenges, I found a profound sense of purpose and identity. Despite facing unique obstacles outside of school, I found solace in the unwavering support from the Southern community especially the Caribbean Student Association. It was during these defining moments that I realized Southern wasn't just a university; it was my sanctuary, my catalyst for personal and academic transformation. With gratitude, I acknowledge that my decision to pursue my bachelor's here was definitely the right choice.

Gone are the days of snagging complimentary t-shirts, free food, and snacks.. a subtle reminder of the inevitable rise in inflation. Yet, amidst this transition, I find myself eagerly anticipating the unknown adventures that lie ahead. While I can't predict the specifics of my future path, one thing is certain: Southern will forever hold a place of pride for having nurtured and shaped me during my academic journey.
