Q10: Write in 3-5 sentences a short narrative of a time where you learned something valuable that you’ve applied in your college years.

Coming into college I’ve been told countless times to be involved. This was something I struggled with; I’ve had to work hard at opening up myself to new things and being more outgoing. I have always been an introvert, but I was involved in high school a little. I am now realizing the importance of being involved, it has really opened me up to new experiences and opportunities in life.
