It made my experience returning again have more anxiety about succeeding. I spent the first semester just getting my footing and learning how to be a student again. ]]> 2021-10-12 18:30:51 UTC https://padlet.com/mpaciulli1/ihoewuhhtk6qwuyl/wish/1811695138 Access to childcare was difficult https://padlet.com/mpaciulli1/ihoewuhhtk6qwuyl/wish/1811698833 This led me to serving on the childcare committee in student senate and share my experience with the president and trustees to advocate for a free child care center on campus.

As soon as I started getting involved, my experience improved. ]]> 2021-10-14 15:29:17 UTC https://padlet.com/mpaciulli1/ihoewuhhtk6qwuyl/wish/1817463525 Difficulties of Remote Learning https://padlet.com/mpaciulli1/ihoewuhhtk6qwuyl/wish/1817465286 My first semester was completely remote. It was difficult as an engineering major to learn things pretty much independently. The positive side of this is that I can say that I can hold my own, and I am capable of pursuing my goals despite being at an academic disadvantage.
