- [00:00:15.390]Hello, I'm Emma Vazquez
- [00:00:17.050]and I'm a junior Animal Science, Pre-Vet major
- [00:00:19.580]from Omaha, Nebraska.
- [00:00:21.470]Being from Omaha,
- [00:00:22.460]a lot of my high school peers also came to UNL.
- [00:00:26.350]Although this does not sound
- [00:00:27.440]like it would be problematic it was for me.
- [00:00:30.000]I was very shy and quiet in high school,
- [00:00:32.330]and I decided during my senior year
- [00:00:34.030]that I was going to reinvent myself in college.
- [00:00:36.980]I challenged myself
- [00:00:37.970]to make as many new friends as possible,
- [00:00:40.300]but how was I supposed to do this
- [00:00:41.640]if I already knew everyone?
- [00:00:43.860]That whole summer, I stressed
- [00:00:45.160]about how I was going to overcome this obstacle,
- [00:00:48.290]only to come to the first day of classes
- [00:00:50.420]and realize that I only knew one person
- [00:00:52.600]in my entire lecture hall.
- [00:00:54.910]I realized that the people I knew
- [00:00:56.410]from high school were few and far between
- [00:00:58.350]just as I had hoped for.
- [00:01:00.090]However, that same group of people became
- [00:01:02.320]who I looked forward to seeing the most.
- [00:01:05.350]That one person I recognized
- [00:01:07.180]in my lecture hall became one of my greatest allies.
- [00:01:10.680]Together we created a study group filled
- [00:01:12.910]with friends old and new.
- [00:01:14.950]Our past connection helped me meet more people
- [00:01:18.270]than I would have on my own.
- [00:01:20.280]During your time here at UNL,
- [00:01:22.080]I encourage you to maintain past relationships
- [00:01:25.360]and foster new ones.
- [00:01:27.150]The relationships you make
- [00:01:28.310]in college will be
- [00:01:29.143]some of the most influential ones you have.
- [00:01:31.870]My connections have helped me grow
- [00:01:33.280]into a better version of myself just
- [00:01:35.390]as I had originally hoped for.
