Meet Ashley!

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

Today I'm going to be interviewing my good friend Ashley. I'm here with Ashley, and she is my good friend from linear. I am 1/4 year or senior graduating, um, Whittier College. Like this upcoming spring, or actually notice spring. Yeah, to be honest, like my freshman year, I also had a rough rough start. I remember when I first started off, I was like, Oh, my God, I'm never gonna like, you know, I had the whole imposter syndrome hit me very heavily. That hit me heavily to freshman and sophomore year. I would feel like, Okay, every time I would try to take one step forward like I would end up going two steps back. You know what year was there to help me? Especially with cast? I like, like, you know, the tutoring services were very flexible. I love how the professors were also very flexible with office hours. You know, if you genuinely show your concern to your professors like that, you're trying that you know you want this like you know, you you're motivating yourself. You know, once you live on campus, you get to live on campus. I think a majority of like the dorm buildings have, like, some type of kitchen based thing. You get to make because everyone's in that. I'm like a very extroverted person, So I literally would like, go and talk to a lot of people as I could. So you get to meet really cool people and, you know, you get to hang out with them. I guess that's like you Maybe with, like, I guess, unity community. Um, I think I just unites a class because remember we're such a small school, so basically we all have each other's back, like if someone were to go through something, then you have a lot of people defending your back or, you know, even like, you know, you know, learning how to be an ally for you, how to be a better person for you. So you learn how to, you know, treat people with respect with better humanity, how to be a better person, especially a hearing campus. There is a lot of training, a lot of like classes and workshops and a lot of talk, a lot of meetings discussing How do we face that? How you know a place where we can express our feelings and you know how to be there for one another and how to treat everyone respect. That's what I think I like about what it is that you know. There's a sense of unity community and just having each other's back. I love what is the one thing you would tell to your freshman self as you are now a senior and almost finishing at what you're the main things that I do might help like, tell her It's just like, Hey, everything's gonna be okay. Regardless of what, Major, what you're studying, you're always gonna, you know, have, like, that feeling I'm like, Am I doing this right? And and And my Is this the thing for me and my good enough for it? Like, you know, you're always gonna have that fear, and that is okay, that is normal to have that fear. It's gonna be okay when you dealt with rejection, failure, you know, fear. Okay? What can I do? Better? What can I improve? And how do I improve? And it's okay, but you got this. I hope that you learned a little bit more about what it's like being a student at Whittier. Um, thank you to my friend Ashley for doing the interview with me.
