The Adams Experience

Transcript

You may not know for sure if you wanna go to college, nevermind where or what to study. As new graduate, Courtney knows sometimes you have to open up to the opportunity and get rewarded when you take a chance, and Adams State is a great place to do just that. Take it away, Courtney.

– Thanks for the introduction, Alex. When I left high school, I had no idea what I wanted to do. In fact, I had very little interest in college, and I was scared of facing the world on my own. But my neighbor was an alumni, and he influenced my decision to come to the university. I began my time at Adams very hesitant, but the folks in the alumni office became my family very quickly. They inspired me and helped me get out of my shell, and I went on to work there for four years there. There I met a professor who changed the course of my life. I changed my major three times and ultimately decided on political science. Eventually I met the most influential person of my life, a poli-sci professor who heavily encouraged me to join Model UN. That awoke a confidence in me I didn’t know I had. From there, I went on to join student government and eventually become the president. I would not be where I am today without the dedication of Adams State faculty and staff. I have learned so much from Adams State University, of course, not just from my studies, but I’ve also learned who I am, what I can do, and that I have what it takes for life’s challenges. In one year’s time, I hope to attend law school and get my JD concentration in space and satellite law. And that’s my story. Back to you, Alex.

– Looks like Adams State is the place to connect with your dreams with help from faculty, staff, and other students. Courtney, thank you for sharing your story with us. That was fantastic. Take care.
