Personally, I consider success to be finding a satisfactory balance in life. I don’t want to just “succeed” in academics; rather, I strive to succeed in school, work, sports, and social situations. Finding a balance in which I am not too stressed and feel comfortable being the best version of myself is what I consider to be success. The Allegheny community has really helped me to grow as a person and become a better version of myself. I love how everyone is passionate about something different, and how every student I have met has their own interests and goals in life. It was very easy for me to adapt to such a new environment because people here were so willing to go the extra mile for me and help me with any problems that I had.

Working together and asking questions is so important to the learning environment here at Allegheny. Being able to learn from and share information with peers and professors helps students grow beyond anything learned in a textbook. Your success isn't defined by your grades. It encompasses all the skills, knowledge, and connections you obtain during your time at Allegheny, and, of course, how you contribute to the campus community, too!

You define that for yourself. But for me, success meant learning to ask for help. The people here want you to be successful. Everyone wants you to be the best you.

You have to go about that by asking every question and seeking every opportunity and, yeah, being uncomfortable sometimes. I think there is an advantage to going to a smaller school. My high school was big, and I was just another kid in school. There are some professors here I’ve never taken a class with, but I pass them in the hall so much that I get to know them. It’s really cool. Even if I don’t know someone, I can just ask for help and they’re willing to help me.

There’s something deserving of award if you spend your life doing your best to make the world a better place. I believe that happiness and satisfaction — in part — come from learning to love to learn — it teaches you that you don’t know it all. Being excited about learning new things will set you on the path to redefining what that means.
