Where I've come from:
Growing up in the second largest town in Massachusetts, I have begun to grow into the woman I had always desired to be. I’ve lived in the same house for my entire life, and the most traveling I have ever done would be to Florida and North Carolina. I can almost guarantee you, that I am the MOST organized person that you will ever meet. My family and extended family mean so much to me. My mother and father have supported my in everything I wanted to try in life. Sometime they though the ideas I had were slightly crazy, but they knew it meant a lot to me experience it. My younger brother is the bomb, we may not get along at all times, but if he ever had a problem with anything, I would be the first one there at his defense, and I always will be. I have sixteen cousins on one side, and I couldn’t ask for anything better. My aunts and uncles are slightly mad, but I wouldn’t want it any other way. I look up to my Nana and Grandpa for raising eight children and still being so successful in life to live out all of their dreams. My grandpa is the most amazing man I have ever met in my life, and he believes in me so much, I think of him every single day. My cat, Maxine is my best friend, she act like a dog anyways so it works out.
A glance of my life at Middleboro High School:
So, high school, yes I can finally say, it’s in the past. I would have to say that those truly were the best, best, years of my life. Of course everyone has their rough patches in life; and everyone entering high school for the first time knows how scary it is to walk through those doors. In the first few months of my freshman year, I set goals to myself that I never thought twice about until about junior year. When hearing the morning announcements come on in September 2003, I told myself that when I was a senior, I was going to do them. When I saw students singing Carol of the Bells in Concert Choir, I knew that was where I wanted to be. Even at graduation freshman year, when a select group of students received silver tassels, I told myself that I would reach for that goal. Everything that I accomplished in high school, I told myself I would and wouldn’t let anyone stop me. From first being a member of student council, I began to challenge myself with leadership roles to help me in my future. Not only was I having a blast in the process, but I never knew how much of an impact all of my extracurriculars have had on me. I took part in almost every activity that Middleboro High had to offer. My four years and another eight years prior to high school, life revolved around swimming. Swimming is my first true love and it always will be. Even though it was the most challenging, it was also the most entertaining and exciting activity that I had ever done. I have the best and worst memories of high school swimming, but I wouldn’t take anything back. My mother, who forced me to get involved with DECA, was a force in the positive direction. Being apart of the business world and par taking in business scenarios at fifteen to seventeen years old has greatly impacted me. The two most rewarding experiences in my high school career would have to be taking on the role of Senior Class President and being the 2007 Yearbook Editor in Chief. With all of my activities, I learned new skills as being professional, getting creative, and being organized.
So, Why did I choose Bridgewater State College?:
Just like every other student in the town of Middleboro, I thought Bridgewater State College was just a safety school, a school that was too close to home, and an “omg I don’t want to go to BSC” was the first thought that came to mind. While searching for schools in the summer of my senior year, I wanted to get as far away from Middleboro..and Bridgewater State as possible. But this first was a little tricky. Since I was so involved in high school, I couldn’t decide on what I wanted to pursue in my collegiate years. I was intrigued with the how the business world worked but I had a passion for graphic design. Not only did these two areas interest me, my I absolutely loved public speaking and couldn’t get enough of it. So my family and I just came to the conclusion to find schools that had majors in all three of my interests, and I went in undecided in all the colleges I had applied for. It ended up that the best place for myself personally was Bridgewater State. My mother forced me on a tour and once I was on the tour, I completely realized that this was the school for me. I loved everything about it, the atmosphere, the technology, it having all of my possible majors, and study abroad and plus I got housing. Now that I have been here for over a semester now, nothing has changed my point of view about this college. I love everything about it here and to prove it, I became a tour guide my first week hear as a freshman. I had to learn the schools history, the buildings and everything that BSC has to offer and the best thing is..I get to pass my love for this school onto new and possible future students of Bridgewater State! It’s the most rewarding job I have had it the while, even the days that it’s pouring rain, or ridiculously hot I still give tours and I don’t want to have it any other way. Heading into the half way point of my second semester I realized I can’t wait to do more and to show prospective students how much enthusiasm I have and hopefully I’ll make them realize that as well. Next year and this summer I am applying to becoming an Orientation Leader and an Residence Assistant. We’ll see how this all plays out in my future <3
