I came to college under the impression that I would/should emerge an entirely different person from who I was in high school, but Champlain hasn’t changed me as much as it has allowed me to sink further into who I already was. Learning in an environment that is exciting and dynamic, while also being nurturing and accepting, creates an opportunity to fully be myself, pursue my passions without limit, and really evolve as a person.
