How I want to make an impact in the world: I'd love to make an impact by making government more accessible to the American people and getting younger generations involved in the political process. Why I chose the Professional Writing Minor: I chose the Professional Writing Minor because I thought it would give me a lot of valuable real-world writing experience, as well as help expand my horizons in terms of career opportunities. My most memorable moment at UCSB: My most memorable moment at UCSB can't really be summed up in one memory! My time at UCSB has been filled with enlightening lectures, irreplaceable friendships, weekend adventures and so much more! What I will miss the most about UCSB: The thing I will miss most about UCSB is the close-knit community of Isla Vista that I've spent four years living in. Waking up to the ocean waves and being able to walk one house over to my best friend's house has been a blessing that I will never forget. |
