My Journey
I am a freshman at SIUE university, and I am majoring in graphic design.
During my first semester, I had my ups and downs. My classes was fine but I did struggle with my studying strategies. I enjoyed my art class, although it was the longest class I had. I learned some graphic design strategies in that art class.
In this semester, I am in CODES which have been interesting and a blessing for me. Last semester I had to worry about paying my student bill and working in the MUC, not getting enough money for to pay my student bill. Joining CODES I learned about green space and the importance of having green spaces in the environment. CODES offered to pay my tuition in full for all 4 years as long as I stay in the program.
I have two art classes and they have been sort of challenging. I have been improving in both of my art classes and using the skills I learn in class and apply them to my own art. College as a freshman isn’t easy but I’m still learning and I am willing to keep going and learn along the way.
