Things I wish I had known as a First-Year…
You learn by taking risks, stepping out of your comfort zone, and trying out things you’ve never done before.
What is the most interesting class you’ve taken at Barnard?
Educational Foundations is the most interesting and enjoyable class I’ve taken at Barnard. In this class, we learned about the history of public schools, freedom dreamed our ideal schools, and reflected on our own educational journeys. For my final project, I partnered with two of my fellow Access Barnard friends and we did a podcast on Access Higher Education for First-Generation and Low-Income Students. We discussed the struggles that come with these identities and ways that change should be made.
