The following is an computer-generated summary of the video transcript.

Teoh give you a little insight on my experience after an amazing four years at Denison. Actually, Allison Slater was 30 minutes late for my offsite interview and felt really bad, so she actually sent me this T shirt. So the first thing that I really want to talk about about my experience, dust it was this just unbelievable for years. I think they wish that they could, you know, extend those four years into another four years. Although these aren't the best circumstances you know every every college student wishes that they could be at home for their spring semester of their senior year. Like most of us and practically all of us are right now that still gives us some awesome time to reflect on an incredible four years. So the biggest things that you have really contributed to my success in my experience and where we'll get Thio, um, is first and foremost the friendships. I mean, I think the friendships that you build it that ascend over the course of your four years, whether their four year relationships, whether their semester long relationships are the foundation of, um, you know, Dennis University and I think the program and the college is amazing job recruiting, a awesome kids that come from a very diverse backgrounds all over the U. S. Condition all over the world for my personal experience, I actually, uh, went and came in and I had a roommate from Ohio, and then my other roommate was from Wisconsin. Um, that was, you know, a culture shock for me being from outside of Philadelphia and, you know, instantly being completely developed into the Midwest by being a dentist in than having my two roommates from modest as well on. You know, those relationships that that started in Curtis West, two of six and have developed through the four years have been incredible. I, you know, being a part of some awesome, awesome awesome teams, as it was a member of the for what? For four years. I've just built some amazing connections that I know will turn into a lifelong friendships. You know, one of the greatest reasons why I've succeeded. Um, and you know where I'm going with my desk education is because the professor have cared so much my person about my personal, academic and professional development. I mean, from day one, when I arrived at, you know, I had a professor that would help me pick my classes. When it was, you know, what classes should I take toe? What kind of job should be looking for? The professors have been there the entire way. Another great experience that have been super beneficial to my development of Dennis in having mild campus jobs like I mentioned before, um, I was an admission. So really getting some awesome experience with public speaking, talking about my own proper experiences, answering tough questions, that perspective students have for me and then slowly becoming a senior interviewer. So where I'm actually in the decision making process for students that are looking to attend Dennison, so those experiences have been really great on the professional level. At the same time, they've been great, you know, on my personal development well, learning about different stories and backgrounds and figuring out how he's such. Such a diverse group of students can come together and having amazing four years. In addition to that, I was a teacher's assistant for the French department for three years as well, and so that was an even better experience where I actually got to see all the hardworking dedications that the professor's due on all the hands on work to do, in addition to helping out my fellow peers, you know? So I think, you know, again learning more about them, learning about there backgrounds, learning about what they're involved in on campus and being able to collaborate and work on that. So those are probably my three personal resource is that I've developed over the course of my four years and then the experience that I've had just kind of getting slowly to the to the end game here. The first thing is study abroad Ah, large percent of students destined study abroad. For me, that was probably one of my best experiences that I had, um, at Denison. So I got to create some amazing friendships with other dense and students, and I got to know the dentist of faculty. Even better on this trip, which and all the experiences that I've got with the research component was speaking French for four straight weeks really kind of prepared me to come back to Dennison and further my continuation and studies in French. In addition to applying my experiences that I had in Martinique into the global Commerce Major that I had the second study abroad experience that I had was this semester, my junior year, where I got to go to Strasbourg, France, which is way in the northeastern part of France And with that, I actually got Thio work in a craft brewery for three months. I got to live there for the whole semester, got the study in French, got to speak in French every single day and learn about the beer industry, which was incredible and really applying my global commerce and my French majors in a professional setting outside the U. S. And so the last thing that I want to touch on my experiences for the internship. First of all, I can think of the center for the experience that I had on their committed team. In addition to providing, you know, just basic opportunities to network with alumni, which are probably your greatest resource, has a dentist, a student. So my first opportune was actually working directly with the Dennison alumni in Chicago for a company called Star Companies in Commercial Insurance. You know what the shared the shared experience that we have, in addition to the differences that have changed throughout the years of Dennison and the 2nd 1 was actually getting getting Thio. Like I said, thankful of normal center for providing me with amazing opportunities actually gets a mock interviews and, you know, work my resume. So I'll be working with, you know, the Hellmann's mayonnaise, Hellmann's mayonnaise producers and selling Hellmann's mayonnaise. Last one you know we have lift Nice two year, too. So we had to represent all the different categories that usually works at, but so that this is kind of a, you know, a good talking point. Just say, you know, that Dennison has provided me with phenomenal resource is both professionally, academically and socially to help me get where I am. Although I will not be, um, flipping and turning my tassel in May I can really say that the course of the four years of Dennis and have been incredible. I value all of the people, all the friends, all the relationships that I've built over the course of four years. You know my reason too, about what Dennison has got me and what I've taken from a over the course, Of course, the four years so best of luck with the rest of our decisions, and I talk to you soon.
