I think [success is] personal for everyone. You define that for yourself. But for me, success meant learning to ask for help. The people here want you to be successful. Everyone wants you to be the best you. You have to go about that by asking every question and seeking every opportunity and, yeah, being uncomfortable sometimes.
I think there is an advantage to going to a smaller school. My high school was big, and I was just another kid in school. There are some professors here I鈥檝e never taken a class with, but I pass them in the hall so much that I get to know them. It鈥檚 really cool. Even if I don鈥檛 know someone, I can just ask for help and they鈥檙e willing to help me.
