  1. greetings. My name is trinity EPPS, a freshman hailing from V.
  2. Woodbridge Virginia, a criminal justice major
  3. And I am here today to talk about what I learned from the freshman studies course 101
  4. the fall semester.
  5. So the first thing I want to talk about is
  6. how the freshman studies course has made me a better student
  7. coming from or transferring from high school to college.
  8. There's a major difference that I've learned and
  9. that we've even talked about in class.
  10. I know that the freshman studies course has helped me
  11. what time management, the hour of the power were cheap.
  12. I got to regroup and rethink about how I spend my days every day
  13. and where I may need to put more time in than I use for my personal life,
  14. things like that.
  15. Um
  16. Another thing with my student life academically over the pandemic.
  17. I know I and many others have started to lose motivation and kind of sight of
  18. what things we want in life and the vision board
  19. that we did in freshman studies have definitely helped me.
  20. I got to regain and think about what things I want in my
  21. future and what things that need to be doing now to accomplish those.
  22. The next thing that the freshman studies course has helped has helped me with is
  23. my personal life.
  24. So even with character,
  25. the self discovery where she and the disc assessment
  26. that we did had better help me kind of
  27. realize who I am and kind of determined
  28. some attributes to me that I didn't really know about myself.
  29. Um
  30. It had kind of
  31. made me realize what reputation
  32. I want to leave
  33. and I've also had to
  34. do communication skills,
  35. that was another thing that freshman studies to help me with.
  36. Um I had to reach out to my peers with the alma mater,
  37. we,
  38. you know,
  39. got to be able to talk to each other and communicate
  40. with each other outside of class even though we do in class
  41. and yeah,
  42. my next thing I want to talk about was how I better got to learn
  43. being a trojan, so coming to an HbCU is different for me.
  44. Um growing up, I was not really
  45. in schools that
  46. I was surrounded by people that looked like me.
  47. So coming in hbcu is something that I take great pride in
  48. and we got to learn more about the Virginia State University,
  49. um the President Abdullah, we got to learn um
  50. When we were founded in 1882
  51. and kind of more about just our surroundings.
  52. Um even with college we had a financial literacy module
  53. that helped us that helped us better understand,
  54. you know, how we can benefit from the honors program, the scholarships grants,
  55. the foundations that they have available have available for us.
  56. Um
  57. even with paying for college, the loans we can take
  58. and things like that, just
  59. still succeed throughout
  60. all the money we're spending
  61. also with being a trojan and a freshman um this class
  62. is very important as in order to, you know,
  63. be a part of clubs and different things on campus, you have to have this um
  64. this course credit
  65. and so being able to participate
  66. and
  67. like um
  68. not Royal Court but
  69. like tab and
  70. Even D nine like all the different clubs and organizations,
  71. sororities and Greek life that you can do.
  72. Um
  73. we kind of just got a better importance of
  74. what pride you need to take in in the school and pretty much
  75. and that will conclude my
  76. final project for the freshman studies one A one class.
