\"Laura<\/strong><\/p>\n

What\u2019s one unexpected opportunity or experience you\u2019ve had at Chapman that you never imagined before enrolling?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whether it was serving as Crean College Dean\u2019s Office Assistant (thank you Jill for letting me do cool things and making my Chapman experience so much more memorable), the President of Chapman Pre-PA Club, the Vice-President of ThinkMED, a member on the First Aid team, or a research assistant at Chapman\u2019s Institute for Interdisciplinary Brain and Behavioral Sciences, I am beyond blessed to have been entrusted with esteemed roles that changed me for the better. Although Chapman makes it easy for students to get involved, I want to remind my fellow Panthers that your college experience is really\u00a0what you make of it. As clich\u00e9 as this is, my experience at Chapman is a testament to that. If I didn\u2019t\u00a0put myself out there and make\u00a0an effort\u00a0to challenge my limiting beliefs, I wouldn\u2019t have had such opportunities of a lifetime I\u2019ve been blessed to have.\u00a0All this to say, thank you\u00a0Chapman for\u00a0truly changing my life and opening doors I never thought were possible.<\/p>\n

Can you share a moment when a professor, advisor, or classmate made a big difference in your college journey?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I had the immense privilege of interviewing Dr. Sternlicht<\/a> for a project for my PSY 327 Life Span Development class. Dr. Sternlicht was my physio B lab professor, which is how I first learned about his inspiring life story. Little did I know how much his story would bring me to tears and have an everlasting impact on how I perceive life from that point on. To be alive is a gift, and Dr. Sternlicht’s story is a reflection of\u00a0that sentiment. I am beyond grateful for the time he took to pass on his wisdom and teach me valuable life lessons. Not to mention, he is an absolute genius who is passionate about setting his students up for success. If you ever get a chance\u00a0to speak with him or take his class, you\u2019ll understand what I mean.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What\u2019s your favorite hidden gem on campus or around town that new students have<\/em>\u00a0to\u00a0check out?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My favorite hidden gem would have to be the outside patio on the top floor of Leatherby\u00a0Libraries. It\u2019s the perfect spot to call loved ones, get fresh air, watch the sun set as it glistens over the field, and take in the campus in all its\u00a0glory. The only caveat is that the tables can get very hot, so I suggest you take a trip up there when the weather is ideal and the time is just right.<\/p>\n

\"Laura<\/p>\n

If you could describe your experience at Chapman in one word, what would it be\u2014and why?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Grateful<\/strong>. Coming into college, I was extremely shy, timid, and unsure of my life trajectory. Thankfully, I\u2019ve been stretched and challenged in ways that have built my character and molded me into the person I am today. I\u2019ve accomplished things that younger Laura would\u2019ve never thought she could do. I am grateful for all the mistakes and trials that helped me to mature and grow exponentially. I am grateful\u00a0for the empowering support system at Chapman, in and out of the classroom. I am grateful\u00a0for my education, which is something\u00a0I easily take for granted. Most of all, I am grateful\u00a0for the progress Chapman has helped me to make in every aspect of my life. It\u2019s been empowering to see how much I can change in a year, let alone four years. In all, I am proud of the version of myself who will walk that stage at graduation and confidently move forward with no regrets.<\/p>\n

What are your future\u00a0plans?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I plan on taking a gap year to obtain sufficient clinical experience before applying to PA school. I will continue working as a Medical Assistant at a dermatology office. During my gap year, I would love to go on more medical mission trips and sharpen my clinical skills abroad. I intend to become a Physician Assistant specializing in dermatology, surgery, or pediatrics. But who knows? Life will surprise me just how my time at Chapman did. With all things in life, everything must come to an end. It’s bittersweet to have to leave what was my home for the past four years. But I will cherish and implement everything I\u2019ve learned at Chapman for the daunting yet exciting unknown ahead.<\/p>\n
