• One challenge I experienced in college was Time management, studying for exams - these were my main challenges during my first year.
• I am a Greyhound Connection Mentor because I want to share my own experiences and help freshmen, specially those who are artists like me. Do not think that by "artists" I mean only art majors. You might be an Artist at heart, but study Biology, for example. I want to talk to you and help you in any way I can.
