Hi, I'm Nick Heath, and I'm a student here at Fonda Lack and, uh, majoring in U T program, which is really nice program to be in good paying jobs. I grew up in northern Wisconsin a couple hours away from here near bigger town of Hayward. My enjoy parking, fishing and riding on trails and all building we're building. On the weekends, I go home and don't get paid much by work for my family owned. Uh, put your company so way put your slaughter animals. Uh, less than 20 people in there are a So I do by the cleaning and, uh, maintaining it, helping people out there hitting in the rooms. An awesome moment being in my grandpa's deer stand and being able to do that Size s O. That was pretty awesome and also my biggest fish. Obviously, we have a lot of smaller lakes, which is Philip Muskie's, which I love to fish. Muskie's um, my biggest musky is 48 a half inches, which was in Cotton Canada. I've been in Canada for 13 years, so I enjoy doing that. I do a lot of fishing around here, ice fishing to back home for panfish, being able to play him up and fry them up right away and eat them, which is it's just great. I chose to come to fondle AC, actually, a recruiter. Coach Smith, the for the football program here, got in touch with me and I accepted to come on a tour here. It was it looked like a nice school, and he looks like he had a nice program football program and workout facility here. I spent my first year a lot of times with the guys working out and, uh, my first experience it was it was pretty fun. Uh, my first few days here on campus was actually nerve wracking, because I'm I grew up in a small town, so not a lot of people. So coming here was more people and other students my age. I had to live on my own for the first time, so it was definitely new experience for me. Um, after after the few days I got kind of used to it. So it was It was a lot easier, but it was still I was missing my family and friends from home. A few of the things that I noticed that was different from college high school was that there was more independent. You know, they're not gonna because the teachers in high school, um, or considering only kind of give you a push. Here is your kind of more independent have to kinda be on time and do your homework and just do stuff on your own. It's one of the biggest things, and then obviously you don't know everybody there. You know, you're not all your friends, everyone's kind of strangers. Some advice coming here to fund Fondo lack would be Thio. To make some friends like I did my first year, I made some friends. Get Goto Walmart, Give him a ride and you make I made that connection that bond throughout, helping him out and just being genuine.
