A Breath of Relief

I have been a student for many years. All together I have switched majors four times and still have a ways to go. In all the time that I have gone to school, I swore to myself that I did NOT want to do anything with business. I looked at every other major possible and finally decided to talk to a career counselor. The counselor educated me a little bit more on business and the Business school and I learned that this is really where I belong.

Before coming to the Huntsman School of Business, I decided to try my hand at Civil Engineering. For the last three semesters, I have been pounding my way through difficult math and science just to get into the Civil Engineering school. I would spend four to five hours a night trying to complete all my assignments and survive semester by semester.

After talking with the career counselor, I decided to throw in the towel for engineering and try my luck with business. I didn't know exactly what major I wanted to do yet but I had some thoughts. Throughout this semester however, I have learned that I really fit into the Huntsman School of Business.

Coming to the business school has been a breath of relief. All of my professors really make an effort to know who I am as a person and not just a number, even in bigger classes. Every teacher that I have this semester has made a real effort in my part to get me to succeed. Although I may have homework and projects, I'm not spending the countless hours trying to understand what I am doing; I already know. In future classes, I expect to be challenged and have difficult tasks ahead of me, but with the great staff we have here, I know I will succeed.
