Yash speaks: I knew that the four years ahead of me would be really tough. But also, I knew that I would have to make the most out of it to be something in life. The way I treat my friends on the floor, the bond which we created last semester – that bond is just growing each semester and each day that passes.
Emily speaks: Every time I come out of the studio after a lesson you are like, “I think the world has changed slightly for me!” It is quite scary that already nearly a year has been and I’m not quite sure how quickly the whole four years are going to go if this is how fast the first went.
Broderick speaks: Well, I’ve only been here for three months now and I have already grown a lot. I have this new kind of confidence that I never saw in myself in high school, so I hold myself better and to a higher standard. It’s really interesting. I didn’t expect that.
Grace speaks: The first semester in college is really fast-paced. You get to know so many people every day. You learn something new every single day. After coming to IU, there was just one day walking to my classes – I looked around and realized this is the place I am supposed to be. I don’t want to be anywhere else except IU. That’s the moment I realized, this is the right place.
