-: I guess I can start by saying I was a little...
I wasn't super eager to go to college, honestly?
It was a bit anxious about the whole situation.
I was like, you know, I don't know about this.
What was really important for me to find at Pomona
was to find my niche.
And the Pomona Farm was my place.
I mean, I ended up living off-campus for three years.
And that wasn't to say I didn't enjoy the college,
I was here all the time.
I've got tons of great friends
that I see all the time who are here.
But I had to find my niche,
the thing that really worked for me here.
So having the Farm and having the school now, really,
you know, fully support that program
and integrating it with campus life and with academics
was really meaningful to me.
'Cause I spent so much time there.
And it really influenced who I am.
