Kilroy J. OldsterCollegiate life presents a student with innumerable opportunities to engender personal growth by responding to a dynamic social, athletic, and academic environment. Students instigate personal development by making calculated and rash personal decisions pertaining to what activities to pursue and by measuring their string of reactions to new experiences.
About This Quote
In college, you have a wide variety of different opportunities to explore your interests, as long as they don’t interfere with your academic or social obligations. Band competitions can be a great way to meet new people and make new friends. If you love playing an instrument, it can be a fun way to spend time with your friends and express yourself. Athletics can be a great way to make new connections with people who share your interest in sports. However, if you become too focused on any one particular activity, you run the risk of becoming overly involved in that activity and forgetting about the other activities that will help you grow as a person.
