class=\"hpu-video-transcript-text\">I looked at a lot of different schools but once I narrowed it down to Interior Design, I chose High Point because it was so close to the furniture market and there was experiences and opportunities at my fingertips and I didn&#039;t want to waste that.<\/p>\n<p class=\"hpu-video-transcript-text\">Once you got on campus, it was just a magical feeling and you couldn&#039;t wait to attend here.<\/p>\n<p class=\"hpu-video-transcript-text\">Being that it was interior design, I really happy with the decision I made coming to High Point, especially when it came to internships and working opportunities throughout the four years.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"hpu-video-transcript-chapter\">\n<div

href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=1p3JyS0v5YM&amp;t=66\">1:06<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"hpu-video-transcript-text\">I worked with a variety of showrooms.<\/p>\n<p class=\"hpu-video-transcript-text\">Corinthian Furniture was my first internship and I worked with them freshman through senior year and then I started adding a few other showrooms in as well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"hpu-video-transcript-text\">I got an internship with the HTTV home furniture collection and that actually ended up turning into my first job.<\/p>\n<p class=\"hpu-video-transcript-text\">That was a great intern experience and I ended up being with them for 5 years.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div

opportunities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"hpu-video-transcript-text\">1924 Prime is one of those opportunities where it&#039;s not just a dining experience.<\/p>\n<p class=\"hpu-video-transcript-text\">Often times, you&#039;re going to have that situation where you&#039;re invited to dinner and it&#039;s actually an interview, not just dinner.<\/p>\n<p class=\"hpu-video-transcript-text\">So how to make yourself professional, how to eat and drink while still carrying on the conversation, that is something that has definitely stayed with me and I think was really important for helping me get into different departments.<\/p>\n<p class=\"hpu-video-transcript-text\">We really didn&#039;t just learn in a book.<\/p>\n<p class=\"hpu-video-transcript-text\">You didn&#039;t even realize you were learning as you were in the promenade and you might have lunch with, you know, the head professors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"hpu-video-transcript-text\">It just was constantly an opportunity for you to be learning.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"hpu-video-transcript-chapter\">\n<div class=\"hpu-video-transcript-chapter-header\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"true\">\n<div

well, one, take advantage of the campus.<\/p>\n<p class=\"hpu-video-transcript-text\">There are so many amazing fun things to do here and for parents and students alike, it was all included and you didn&#039;t have to, you know, oh I want tickets to go to that concert or to go to that basketball game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"hpu-video-transcript-text\">Everything was included, so there&#039;s really no

take advantage of your professors. Don&#039;t just spend time with them during class but get to know them. Get to know what they do and their network is a wealth of knowledge.<\/p>\n<p class=\"hpu-video-transcript-text\">I&#039;ve had the amazing opportunity of getting some work through my professors here at High Point, Dr. Jane Nicholls in Norton in interior design. Um, she had seen some of my artwork that I had been doing. She reached out and said that she was working on a pro bono project with the Humane Society of the Point and they wanted to do a mural in their waiting room and would I be interested? So I was super excited. I&#039;m so grateful for it because it really launched my mural side of the business.<\/p>\n<p class=\"hpu-video-transcript-text\">I think keeping that network is really important and keeping the conversation going after you graduate. And then also, internships and opportunities, they&#039;re only going to help you. So do anything that&#039;s going to give you a list to add to your resume and it&#039;ll help you meet new people too.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"hpu-video-transcript-chapter\">\n<div class=\"hpu-video-transcript-chapter-header\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"true\">\n<div class=\"hpu-video-transcript-chapter-header-top\">\n<div class=\"hpu-video-transcript-chapter-number\">7<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"hpu-video-transcript-speaker\">What does it mean to choose to be extraordinary?<\/h2>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"hpu-video-transcript-text-container\">\n<div class=\"hpu-video-transcript-text-inner\">\n                                    <span class=\"hpu-video-transcript-chapter-time\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=1p3JyS0v5YM&amp;t=233\">3:53<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"hpu-video-transcript-text\">To me, choose to be extraordinary means to really put yourself out there, to be the best that you can be.<\/p>\n<p class=\"hpu-video-transcript-text\">Always strive to do more.<\/p>\n<p class=\"hpu-video-transcript-text\">Encourage yourself, challenge yourself, and try to find what&#039;s going to leave your legacy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"hpu-video-transcript-text\">Um, so, I think, really really doing all that you can to put your best foot forward.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<div class=\"hpu-video-main\">\n<section class=\"hpu-video-section\" aria-label=\"Video Player\">\n<div class=\"hpu-video-section-iframe\">\n                    <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Destination Success | Victoria Valentinas\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1p3JyS0v5YM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n                <\/div>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"hpu-video-body\">\n<div class=\"hpu-video-tabs\">\n                    <button class=\"hpu-video-tab-btn active\" data-tab=\"description\">Description<\/button><br \/>\n                    <button class=\"hpu-video-tab-btn\" data-tab=\"related\">Related Videos<\/button>\n                <\/div>\n<div class=\"hpu-video-tab-content active\" id=\"tab-description\">\n<section class=\"hpu-video-summary\" aria-label=\"Video Description\">\n<p>Victoria Valentinas shares her journey from High Point University to founding VV Designs, an interior design and custom art business.

Often times, you're going to have that situation where you're invited to dinner and it's actually an interview, not just dinner. So how to make yourself professional, how to eat and drink while still carrying on the conversation, that is something that has definitely stayed with me and I think was really important for helping me get into different departments. We really didn't just learn in a book. You didn't even realize you were learning as you were in the promenade and you might have lunch with, you know, the head professors. It just was constantly an opportunity for you to be learning.\",\"endOffset\":141},{\"@type\":\"Clip\",\"name\":\"What activities are included on the HPU campus?\",\"description\":\"What activities are included on the HPU campus\",\"startOffset\":141,\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.highpoint.edu\/watch\/victoria-valentinas-interior-designer-vv-designs-hpu-alum\/#t=141\",\"transcript\":\"I definitely recommend, well, one, take advantage of the campus.

Don't just spend time with them during class but get to know them. Get to know what they do and their network is a wealth of knowledge. I've had the amazing opportunity of getting some work through my professors here at High Point, Dr. Jane Nicholls in Norton in interior design. Um, she had seen some of my artwork that I had been doing. She reached out and said that she was working on a pro bono project with the Humane Society of the Point and they wanted to do a mural in their waiting room and would I be interested?

I looked at a lot of different schools but once I narrowed it down to Interior Design, I chose High Point because it was so close to the furniture market and there was experiences and opportunities at my fingertips and I didn't want to waste that. Once you got on campus, it was just a magical feeling and you couldn't wait to attend here. Being that it was interior design, I really happy with the decision I made coming to High Point, especially when it came to internships and working opportunities throughout the four years.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How do HPU internships lead to career success?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"I worked with a variety of showrooms. Corinthian Furniture was my first internship and I worked with them freshman through senior year and then I started adding a few other showrooms in as well. I got an internship with the HTTV home furniture collection and that actually ended up turning into my first job. That was a great intern experience and I ended up being with them for 5 years.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is the 1924 Prime dining experience at HPU?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Here at High Point, there's also lots of learning lab opportunities. 1924 Prime is one of those opportunities where it's not just a dining experience. Often times, you're going to have that situation where you're invited to dinner and it's actually an interview, not just dinner. So how to make yourself professional, how to eat and drink while still carrying on the conversation, that is something that has definitely stayed with me and I think was really important for helping me get into different departments. We really didn't just learn in a book. You didn't even realize you were learning as you were in the promenade and you might have lunch with, you know, the head professors. It just was constantly an opportunity for you to be learning.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What activities are included on the HPU campus?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"I definitely recommend, well, one, take advantage of the campus. There are so many amazing fun things to do here and for parents and students alike, it was all included and you didn't have to, you know, oh I want tickets to go to that concert or to go to that basketball game. Everything was included, so there's really no reason to not attend.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How does HPU faculty mentorship benefit students?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Also, take advantage of your professors. Don't just spend time with them during class but get to know them. Get to know what they do and their network is a wealth of knowledge. I've had the amazing opportunity of getting some work through my professors here at High Point, Dr. Jane Nicholls in Norton in interior design. Um, she had seen some of my artwork that I had been doing. She reached out and said that she was working on a pro bono project with the Humane Society of the Point and they wanted to do a mural in their waiting room and would I be interested? So I was super excited. I'm so grateful for it because it really launched my mural side of the business.
