I had trouble deciding what I really wanted to pursue, but the HC requirements really helped me decide where my strengths and interests lie. Thank you for guiding me through the past three and a half years.
[Perry Honors College Dean David Metzger] is the one who helped me and encouraged me to be where I am today.
