This place is somewhere I can look back and remember the perseverance and focus I endured during my college career. I have vivid memories of sitting and staring at blank walls in a silent atmosphere while I was trying to read, write essays, or study for exams. This place gave me somewhere to really focus on my academics and give me somewhere to get all my stuff done. This also reminds me of the intense workload I had during this period of my life. I was taking a full class load, working for the basketball team, and had a part-time job on campus. I would come to this place sometimes at 10pm at night and work/study until 2 in the morning. Even though it reminds me of many painful hours of school work, I still have a sense of pride that I was able to accomplish what I did. It reminds me of how anyone can persevere through hard times and heavy workloads and still succeed. With the right mentality and focus it is amazing what an individual can accomplish.
