“I choose to attend Carthage for a variety of reasons, including the 奖学金 呈现给我. One of the main reasons I chose Carthage, 虽然, was the academic opportunities presented here, specifically the ability to have multiple majors 和 minors without seeing a tuition increase. This is important to me as someone with many interests who loves to learn.”

“The relationships I have with 教师 bring me joy 和 add additional motivation to attend classes 和 ask questions. Additionally, the 教师 has helped me discover 和 explore my interests. My lab professors have helped me engage in personal research 和 so much more.”

“到目前为止, my favorite class has been BIO 1110 Molecules, 细胞, 和生物 because it is something that I am passionate about 和 yet very unfamiliar with. I have struggled with this class, so I feel accomplished when I put in the work 和 do learn the material. I also love the h和s-on labs 和 my relationship with my professor.”

“My toughest class is actually the same as my favorite class, BIO 1110 Molecules, 细胞, 和生物. This has been my hardest class because everything happens at such a small level with some much new vocabulary that it is similar to learning a new language.”

“One of the biggest opportunities I’ve had so far as a freshman is working in undergraduate research in the abnormal psych CAPs lab. I have learned 和 analyzed studies, found ways this connects to personal research goals, will be heading to the MPA this April to present on research as a group.”

“我有过 校园工作 but not related specifically to my major. I am in contact with a medical documentation company for a future internship, I look forward to pursuing this.”

“I hope to go to medical school to pursue a career as a clinical neurologist. Further down the line, I would also like to specialize in brain trauma 和 its effects on the brain 和 abnormal 心理学. One intermediate career goal is to become a residential counselor for teens 和 adults with mental illness.”

“Some of my favorite Carthage memories have been all the friends I’ve made on campus. For Halloween, my group of friends bought matching pajamas 和 had a ‘family’ photoshoot. I also really enjoyed the Biology Department’s Boo Bash Halloween Party. We had a pumpkin carving contest 和 costume party that was a very fun environment 和 a good way to engage with the department.”

“My biggest surprise has been how big the campus can feel even 虽然 it is a 小学院. I was worried that I would know everyone on campus 和 would struggle to meet new people 和 experience new things. This is not true. I can always find new experiences 和 meet new people on campus.”

“My eight-year-old self would be completely amazed because my eight-year-old self did not even know that 神经科学 和 心理学 existed, much less that it would be something that I find interesting 和 fulfilling. My eight-year-old self would also be amazed that I still study art because, 作为一个孩子, I believed that I was bad at art. 然而, as I pursued it in middle 和 high school, my talent grew 和 became something I wanted to continue. It would be inspiring to see that hard work can pay off.”
