In any endeavor, it is helpful to have someone there who knows more about it and is willing to help you achieve your goals. College is no exception. It is a crazy time what with trying to figure out your future. Fortunately there are people here who can help. Among them are the members of the ISU faculty.
Before I can pick the person who can most help me, I need to have a better idea of what I want and what I need. One thing I know I need no matter what is someone who will encourage me and be genuinely happy for me when I do well. I also need someone who is amused rather than annoyed by my excitable personality. It would also be useful if they were knowledgeable in the field and could point me in the direction of resources (be they people or opportunities) should they arise.
The closest thing I have to that person right now is Professor Cervato. She is very encouraging and seems to be amused my outburst and questions. In addition, she is very knowledgeable in the field of geology and though I don’t think I want to be a geologist, I am thinking about becoming a naturalist. Having someone knowledgeable in the natural science field will only be to my advantage.
Overall it is good to have someone in your corner helping you out. Hopefully I as I progress in my studies I will find more people, who can help me. For now though it is good to know that I have at least one member of the faculty on my side.
