Hello? Who are you? Hi. You can see I'm a sophomore from like in and Ivan Elementary and Major, and I hope to teach kindergarten someday. Why did you choose and w u um, I chose Leslie, and because, um, I've been on the campus for several different reasons. I came to the homecomings ever since I was in high school, and I volunteered for, um, um I just really liked the class dynamics because, like, the teachers are very they know your names. They're very willing to work with you all the time. Um, they're just they're really good people, Teo. Campus is so pretty, and everybody's So what? It makes the campus different from other campuses in colleges. I would say if it's a lot different than like other camps is because we all the buildings are closer together. You always see people talking to each other and laughing and like meeting people, Are there so many opportunities to do so on campus through like feeling like sororities and France or numeral sports or just like going toe lunch of people you normally would goto to it. So describe the student climate, I would say the student climate is pretty friendly, like again As I said, like you always see people like talking and smiling. I don't really have receive people sitting alone. Usually people are pretty nice about incorporating each other. Um, yeah, I would say it's a very positive environment. I've never really had any negative experiences. What's the workload like with your major? Um, as an elementary at Major, there would be a lot of writing a lot of, like, oral reports and presentations because, like, you need to be ableto talk in front of a class someday. Um, I personally don't think it's that bad. Um, just sometimes the paper is cause ideal. Have, Like, right now I have, like, three different research paper is for, like, three classes going on at the same time. Like, I don't think it's bad. I think I love how we have a lot of practical experience is what you're going to be in a classroom a lot more, um, different. You could do different grades like I was in a middle school, even love and l'm a tree it major. It was a really good learning experience for me. Where the classroom dynamics lake, the classrooms are pretty small isn't like student sizes. I think the least I've been in his choir, which we have, I think fifteen to nineteen students. Um, all the teachers, they're probably know your names and they're gonna know who you are. Like, a lot of teachers will check up on you, and they're like, Hey, noticed you're in class today, like, here's what you missed like, let me know if you need anything. So they're very understanding and welcoming people. What do you love most about your area of study? I love working with kids. Like I just I love the practical experiences I like just all the hands on I get to be with the students. Kronos ums, um, programs you don't get to be his hands on. It's more of learning like the pedagogy and all that stuff and theories. It was saying, like, into really hands on, and you're always gonna be working with the students. Um, I'd say the pros are There's a lot of things to do on campus. You could do different niches you could find yourself in. Um, yeah, just say that Khan might be It's kind of expensive. Um, it might be hard if you live off campus like commute to kind of find your place, because if you commute, you might not always, like, be able to make it till it club events and stuff like that. Sometimes this school is kind of hard, but I mean, that's that's kind of everywhere, too. So what advice would you give to your scene yourself? I would probably say across the Nate less. Maybe don't take on so much because I have a tendency to, like, say yes and not always make time for myself but behind like, just keep exploring your different things that you enjoy Like I love yoga club. I love having all my leadership positions and makes my week.
