>> My favorite memory if I had to say just like one general memory, was definitely being --
I was a senior interviewer in the admission office.
And so I would interview high school seniors who were applying to Pomona.
And that was just awesome for me.
I like -- I loved being able to have a small influence
on who would be on campus after I left.
And also I just really enjoyed talking to people and hearing about their high school experiences,
and what they're interested in, and what projects they're working on,
and just having those conversations was super fun for me.
So I really loved that.
I also just really enjoyed being surrounded by people who were really intelligent
and really hard-working, and were willing and able
to have pretty interesting intellectual conversations.
That was something I hadn't really thought about before college.
I figured I'd do most of my learning in the classroom, and study, and so on and so forth.
But I was surprised at how much I learned outside the classroom just from talking
to my fellow students in the hallway, or at lunch, or dinner, or whatever.
And that was hugely beneficial for me, not only to sort of hone my own stance on things,
because people would have really good counterarguments, and then I'd be forced
to really think that through, but also just exposing me to areas
that I otherwise would never have really considered.
