Why did you come to Buffalo State?
I came to Buffalo State because it was the farthest school from Brooklyn that I got into. I love where I am from, but I needed a change of scenery, people and lifestyle. I came in undeclared and then decided to be an El Ed major which ended up being perfect because Buffalo State is known as the “teaching school”.
What is your best and worst experience while attending Buffalo State?
I would have to say that my best experiences here were the people I have met, connections I have made and relationships I have built. The people in college are people who want the same things as you, academically. They have bigger goals and more motivation to achieve them and that is such a good example and such a positive vibe. My worst experience would have to be seeing how many people who were once a huge part of my life, suddenly disappear. I have learned a lot of hard lessons, but I appreciate them
