Most Enhancing Experiences at IUP: My most enhancing experiences while at IUP were the combination of the Honors College, my major, and running on the team. These factors constantly challenged and pushed me on a daily basis. The demanding schedule helped me obtain the work ethic and determination that is still with me today.

About my major: My major was fulfilling and challenging. The variety of courses required were interesting, but I enjoyed the freedom of mixing in some exercise science courses in order to mold my education into what I wanted for my future profession.

HC Impact: Core took me out of my comfort zone; it challenged my way of thinking and forced me to question and critique everything I would read and write. This has been beneficial in my profession when reading journals, writing papers, and in an overall approach to accepting new information.
