It's a great feeling to get out of a conference and have helped a student create a better product in his or her writing. It's rare when you can put your time into something and see the rewards so tangibly. I discovered a passion for Spanish language and literature. It has brought me new perspectives on writing in English. It has let me travel and get to know things in other cultures in a real sense that I wouldn't have known as a tourist or American looking at things superficially.
People tend to take themselves and their activities here seriously.
Intramurals is one organized activity where people just have fun with it. It has been a hobby that I have played with at Bowdoin, but I wanted to experience it hands-on. Interested in journalism career or graduate school in Spanish and international relations. Bowdoin has made me thoughtful and aware. My priorities have changed.
