What has Trinity meant to
you?
To me, Trinity has meant
growth and enrichment. Sure, I’ve learned in the classroom, but the people I’ve
met and the things I’ve done have helped me grow as a person and have taught me
many things about myself and the world around me.
What will be some of your best memories of Trinity?
Definitely, the Trinitonian (student newspaper). It has provided me with some great
friends, and a great work experience very few college students get the chance
to do; a lot of the memories revolve around the late Thursday nights going to
press, with a lot of screaming and hollering going on, but we always got it
done. Life in the residence halls is a great memory, too. From the time I met my
roommate John, on our first year move-in day, until graduation, he’s been my
roommate and among the best of friends. And, how can you forget Mabee (Dining
Hall)? Often ragged on, I’ll miss the ease of walking a few feet to have the many
options I had there.
How has your education
prepared you for life after college?
The courses at Trinity not
only helped me in my major, but they helped me learn about all sorts of fields.
I never really thought I’d take a physics course, but doing so has broadened my
horizons that much more. My education has also prepared me, thanks to small
course settings and the caring nature of the faculty. Everyone here wants to
see the students succeed.
Favorite professors?
Jennifer Henderson in the
communication department. She’s a great person, both in the classroom and out.
Always willing to spend time making sure I understood what was going on and was
getting the most out of her classes. She’s a professor anyone should aspire to
be. Sammye Johnson, also in the communication department. Sure, some see her
grading as horrendously difficult, and there’s never a shortage of jokes about
her use of red ink, but while she is demanding, it’s unreal how much I’ve
gotten from those moments. She’s always interested in what I’m doing, not just
in her class, but with the newspaper and with the rest of my post-college
plans.
Any life changing experiences?
Well, it has been one big
life-changing experience. I could spend
hours recounting all the memories, mostly great, that Trinity has provided. |
