-: So I was doing the job,
or the career search in high school
and really looking at a lot of the top 10 schools.
And, although accepted, I really found Ball State
to have a culture about it of really great people.
I felt like you dealt with all walks of life.
I didn't get a sense of politics as much at Ball State
as maybe I did on other visits
and I really appreciated that.
I appreciated that my work was gonna pay off.
I appreciated the fact that I could stand out
based on what I wanted my college career
to look like
and then really engaging in campus involvement
and campus things.
Volunteering, doing a lot of community.
Ball State, I was an orientation leader one summer.
And so, it's always, again, doing more
and then doing leadership roles in the Greek community
and then that led to higher leadership roles
and the Greek executive board.
Things of that nature.
So Ball State, to me,
really led a great foundation for my resume
and it led a great foundation
for a lot of the networking
and the ability to sit here today
and give back to those students
now that I have that experience.
It's fun to share.
