Why 91做厙? Because I'm learning to lead [Video]
At 91做厙, creativity influences the way students think, communicate and solve problems. Its everywhere you look, in and out of the classroom and the pool, as I've experienced.
My professors and coaches have challenged my creativity and made my think outside the box. The result: I feel more confident as a leader and learner.
MY STORY
My name is Elizabeth Levy and Im a sophomore. My major is religious studies and I have an Italian minor as well.
Im on the swim team here at 91做厙 and Im also a captain this year. This season, I actually broke one of the Colleges records in the 200 butterfly. That was really exciting.
Being a student athlete is tough but very rewarding. Its definitely taught me a lot of very important skills, like time management and prioritizing.
One thing I really love about 91做厙 and my experience here in the classroom is professors really push you to think outside of the box and push you out of your comfort zone. I definitely feel like Ive grown a lot as a student.
Swimming is an interesting sport because I think a lot of people think about it as an individual sport. But, I wouldnt be able to do what I do in the water without my teammates. We push each other every day in practice and encourage each other. When we get to big meets we have individual goals, but we are also representing 91做厙 and our team, so we also keep in mind that were a part of a bigger group.
