“I came to Weber State because they are the only University that teaches zoology. Utah is really big on agriculture so they say you can learn about animals, but it has to be cows and chickens. Originally my major was psychology, but I took a Zoology class and fell in love after learning about the scientific names. You can do a lot with a Zoology degree such as work at a zoo, an aquarium, ecological studies, or animal conservation, but I want to teach it. I think having a good teacher is what makes the difference in this world. Education is the one thing that stands in your way of achieving your goals. For a lot of kids, not having good teachers in STEM fields completely ruined STEM for them. Being a woman, I want to be like hey you know you can be a woman in this position, don't let anyone tell you that you can't do it. Teaching is so important because I know so many students that loved math until they had a bad math teacher, then after that point, math was terrible for them. I know that happens a lot in the science field because science is so convolutedly difficult. If you don't have someone to guide you or make it fun and interesting it can be mundane.”

“I was going to a high school in North Carolina that wasn’t fit for me - it wasn’t challenging me enough. Once I found out more about Soar, an outdoor boarding school, I applied and got in. Not a lot of kids get in so that was cool. I got involved with Soar by first attending a summer camp for people with ADHD. I really grew and thrived there. I learned how to build tents, went backpacking and more. My most proud moment in that entire course was when I crossed 20 rivers in one day with a 70-pound backpack!”

“In my junior year of high school I had to switch schools because they opened a new one. It was hard because I had to learn how to introduce myself to new people. That helped me to be more outgoing because I was very quiet before, but I've been able to talk to people a lot easier. This has helped in college because it's easier to make friends in classes -like when I miss something I can ask to borrow notes and it's nice knowing people in class so I don’t feel alone. Weber is so welcoming, you can always find someone that is talking to people, and there are so many places to study. It's so nice.” #StudentsOfWeber #WeberFamily #ConnectWithWeber #WeberState

“I was doing well with my life. Then one day, my car was hit while waiting at a red light. That same day, my friend died. A lot of things went wrong and I got super depressed. It became hard for me to want to attend college and begin my life again. Eventually, I understood that my friend that passed away would want me to move forward and to keep going. I stayed close to home and started at Weber. No one in my family went to college and I'm the first one to attend. So I thought I need to do this for them and my friend. By going to college I’m planning on making enough money so that I can afford for my parents to not work anymore. They've worked their whole life and they took care of me and I want to repay them that way. I’m also keeping my friend who passed away’s legacy going by always remembering him and knowing he's always going to be with me. I'm majoring in psychology, and am planning on going to medical school for psychiatry but I still want to explore my options. Stay positive and everything will be alright.” #StudentsOfWeber #WeberFamily #ConnectWithWebe r#WeberState
