Asu Reflection

ASU brings together a variety of people and opens numerous opportunities for anyone willing to take advantage. Meeting some of these people and taking some of these opportunities has allowed me to learn a lot about myself this past semester. Making the big transition to a new state and a new lifestyle has taught me the importance of branching out.
