  1. Hello my name is Isaiah Ridley.
  2. Uh from Chesterfield Virginia. I'm 19 years old.
  3. I go to Virginia State University and I'm a computer engineer major.
  4. Um
  5. uh
  6. uh In high school I was a very
  7. oh middle school. I was very quiet
  8. anti social kid didn't have many friends.
  9. So my high school career I tried my best to uh improve my personality
  10. in ways that I try to do now and meeting people and just
  11. being me and showing my best me
  12. that's what I like to live by.
  13. I did a track
  14. um My first two years
  15. once Covid hit everything went back down terrible. But I didn't really good.
  16. I didn't really have a really pretty decent track record.
  17. My p. r. for the 400 was a 55 seconds. So as a sophomore that was pretty good.
  18. Let me put it.
  19. But um
  20. high school I mean college I've learned a lot of things.
  21. Um Freshman Studies has taught me
  22. many good foundations that I found myself having.
  23. Like during high school having to figure out myself
  24. such as things like networking.
  25. Freshman studies
  26. and professors around have taught me that networking is
  27. an important key that everyone needs to know.
  28. Um
  29. networking
  30. is
  31. college is an investment
  32. and networking is just a key
  33. tool that you get from your investment that comes along with it.
  34. Um Just for an example
  35. I networked and got to get close with my engineering professor
  36. now the know that I've done that it's leading me to working with Raytheon
  37. one of the biggest companies
  38. military contracting companies actually.
  39. So that's really cool As a freshman, I'm doing big things.
  40. Um,
  41. freshman studies has also taught me about our history,
  42. I learned the alma mater song and I got to make a remix. That's cool.
  43. Um,
  44. it's always good to know the history of your school.
  45. So you know where you go and what it means to be there.
  46. It's uh,
  47. it's like home.
  48. The more I have been in the school
  49. man, just knowing where my home is rooted from. It's nice to know.
  50. But not only that freshman studies has taught me time management.
  51. Time management is,
  52. you've got to have it, you gotta have it in college without times management.
  53. You just, you can't, you can't stand with the rest
  54. and if you can't, you can't be with the rest,
  55. you have to have your time management, you have to have your work done,
  56. you have to have all those things.
  57. Sorry.
  58. Um,
  59. but like I was saying, you just have to have your time management down,
  60. You have to have
  61. when to do study, when not to study when to work, when not to work.
  62. You got to have all these in order
  63. and that's what makes a good student rail rounded student.
  64. But um,
  65. those are what I learned from freshman studies and I do
  66. think it's a great class to have and that every year,
  67. somebody every freshman student should have freshman studies.
  68. It just helps you along
  69. and
  70. thank you
  71. fine
