Hey TRIO scholars!
I hope everyone had an amazing summer and is feeling ready to get back into the school year soon! Here's some of the stuff I've been up to this summer.
First, I wanted to talk about an amazing opportunity that I was given to attend the SAEOPP McNair/SSS research conference in Atlanta! Though I didn't have any research to present, I had an amazing experience seeing my fellow TRIO students present theirs. On top of getting to explore a new city, I learned so much from the other student's research, as well as about ways to succeed in academic fields. This trip was so inspiring and I'm so grateful for the opportunity! Most of the pictures I have here are from this trip :)
This summer I also spent a lot of time with family and friends! I got to go on a few day trips, including seeing a concert in Chicago.
I also spent a lot of time this summer working and taking an online class. It's important to have a work-life balance, and I'm glad I got to do so much on top of my work schedule!
Feel free to leave in the comments what was your favorite thing you did this summer!
