"Through my experience at 体育菠菜大平台, I met some of my best friends. Whether we bonded because we both had to take Dr. Unruh’s 8 a.m.’s, or we both struggled to keep up with all the assignments in Dr. Bickford’s classes, we will be friends for the long haul. My favorite memory though would have to be the two week outdoor adventure class. We took three buses down to Arkansas and had the most memorable and lasting experiences I have ever had. First paddling experience, first Eureka Springs adventure… these memories helped mold the fabric of my life. I did my internship at Life Adventure Center of the Bluegrass and got hired full time after my internship was over."
