“作为一个学生没有机会采取严格的美联社科学课程或实验室的经验,让我觉得好像我需要加倍努力地工作来“迎头赶上”。However, as I look back, I see how the course forced me to look for academic resources and ask for help, something I found and still find difficult doing. The course was hard but I learned a lot, even if at times it felt like I wasn't, and it allowed me to grow as a student. Ultimately, my hope is for students like me to take advantage of this opportunity and challenge themselves, knowing that they always have the support of their professors along the way."
