My favorite course at Loyola has been Creative Eye, which I took my sophomore year. When I took Effective Writing freshman year, I realized that I had an actual talent in writing. I did well in the class, and my teacher even told me that I should consider writing as a major. Although I always knew my skills were in Humanities I never considered myself a writer. Creative Eye really helped me accept and appreciate my talent as a writer. It was also simply an amazing class! The most interesting place I’ve been is Madrid, Spain. After graduating high school, my four best girlfriends and I embarked on our own adventure into Europe. We carried everything in our giant pack backs: five pairs of shorts, six shirts, sneakers, flip flops, and of course, one pair of heels. We stayed in hostels, walked everywhere, and learned quite a bit of Spanish. I got to visit amazing art museums, walk through beautiful parks, and meet wonderful people. It felt great to plan and accomplish such a big adventure, and I can’t wait to do it again when I graduate Loyola! |
