Quote: Being the people person I am, I enjoy the small school ambiance of St. Lawrence. St. Lawrence really is a close-knit community. When walking to class or eating in the dining hall, I see professors and students that I know personally and others that I just know by sight.
Knowing the people at my college, even if only by face, is a comforting feeling. At St. Lawrence I explore new interests while also keeping up the old. Last semester, in addition to playing on the volleyball team, I also took riding lessons for the first time ever. I love trying new things.
Also, I am the recording secretary of the First-Year College Committee, which plans activities for first-year students. Last semester we organized a weekend ski trip to Mont Tremblant, Canada, for any first-year students interested. The weekend was a a lot of fun and we are already planning another trip for this semester.
On the weekends, I work as a ski instructor at Titus Mountain. This gives me a chance to take a break from my studies and obligations on campus.
My experiences at St. Lawrence have allowed me to grow up. I know myself better from being on my own and dealing with my own responsibilities. The environment of St. Lawrence has enabled this growth.
