Undergraduate Research
Years down the road, when I go on to reflect on what molded me as an individual at university, those experiences which gave rise to who I am and what I represent, one of the first to come to mind will be my time spent in undergraduate research.
After completing another successful interview this afternoon, I am just flush with excitement as to the direction my project is taking. I can say with confidence that I'm learning something. How pertinent to my intended work and career this remains to be seen, but this is just interesting stuff. Plain and simple. Higher education endowments rock.
