-: So Ball State really had a big impact on me.
I was, like I said, in the natural resources department,
and I happened to get an internship
where I'm working full-time now.
And that internship, I worked there for three years,
and it was something that I had the opportunity,
through that internship, to present posters,
do a lot of work, join the clubs,
met a lot of really good friends through that program
that have helped me in the future get jobs
and all sorts of other opportunities.
My experience at Ball State was great because
it was a chance for me to, being a local person,
coming from Yorktown, just outside of Muncie,
it gave me an opportunity to find friends
and meet people that were all in the same major as me,
so we were all like-minded, so it was
a really good opportunity to get some new friends
and some fresh takes on the stuff that we were all
so passionate about.
