While I will\u00a0<i>probably <\/i>wait a while before hopping on a bus again, I am\u00a0<i>definitely<\/i>\u00a0thankful for the chance to see my learning in action.

My assumption that a small, rural community college wouldn\u2019t be as impactful for students as a large, urban institution was shattered. I realized that, sometimes, tradition and a tight-knit community makes for a group of amazing student leaders. And I\u2019m going to take this lesson into the rest of my career. As I continue my education at the University of Tennessee, I\u2019m going to look for the gems within the University that make this institution amazing.
