- [00:00:14.860]Hello, everyone, my name is Bekka and I am a junior
- [00:00:17.380]seven through 12 special education major
- [00:00:19.760]from Omaha, Nebraska.
- [00:00:21.270]Being from Omaha, I have been a Husker fan all my life.
- [00:00:24.140]However, this didn't mean that UNL was my first choice.
- [00:00:27.610]It was actually at the bottom of my list.
- [00:00:30.060]I had a fear that if I were to come to UNL
- [00:00:32.070]that I would just be entering a second round of high school.
- [00:00:34.960]Now you might be thinking
- [00:00:36.020]if UNL was at the bottom of my list, how did I end up here?
- [00:00:39.670]I'm going to be honest with you,
- [00:00:40.930]it was because UNL was the most financially responsible
- [00:00:43.430]place for me to go.
- [00:00:45.140]With this in mind, I was not excited
- [00:00:47.310]about my college experience.
- [00:00:49.010]I was in the mindset that I was going to be
- [00:00:50.870]in high school 2.0.
- [00:00:52.880]However, this all changed on my NSE day.
- [00:00:55.380]When I first got to NSE,
- [00:00:56.780]I saw about 20 kids from my high school,
- [00:00:58.930]and I thought, "This is great.
- [00:01:00.720]I was right, I'm never going to meet anyone new."
- [00:01:04.200]Then as the day went on, we were separated into groups
- [00:01:06.700]and I was able to meet two girls
- [00:01:08.010]from my scholarship program.
- [00:01:09.690]We clicked instantly.
- [00:01:11.320]I was starting to warm up to the idea
- [00:01:12.960]of going to a school 45 minutes away from my high school.
- [00:01:16.280]Now, two years later, I have been able to meet
- [00:01:19.260]so many friends through my residence halls,
- [00:01:22.120]different RSOs and classes,
- [00:01:24.210]while still maintaining the relationships
- [00:01:26.610]that were important enough for me to keep from high school.
- [00:01:29.480]So if you're anything like me and you're worried about
- [00:01:31.750]not finding your home here on campus,
- [00:01:33.760]just know that no matter how many people you think you know,
- [00:01:36.620]this campus is big enough for you to meet new people.
