Personal Statement

Before I talk about how my beliefs, views, and faith, I would like to touch upon how I have changed in my four years of in college. Growth would be the key word. I have grown as a person, before college I was always an introvert, a quiet and shy person in school that most people would not know unless they were in class, school activity, or a group project with me.
