I now work in Washington DC on Capitol Hill as a staff assistant for Senator Ted Budd.<\/p>\n<p class=\"hpu-video-transcript-text\">When I got here freshman year, I met my seven friends that are still really, really close and best friends to this day and we still keep in touch. So that was just a fantastic beginning for me here at High Point.<\/p>\n<p class=\"hpu-video-transcript-text\">From there, you know, I just learned to branch out, building your connections, building your home, your network. Your family here is really important and it&#039;s really easy and accessible too. So that led me to a lot of success and a lot of fun times.<\/p>\n<p class=\"hpu-video-transcript-text\">I got involved with Club golf, which was really fantastic for me and that really kind of made me feel like I was at home too. There&#039;s lots of fun things to do around. It&#039;s a very central location here at High Point. There&#039;s no limit on what you can do here and the amount of fun and engaging memories you&#039;ll make.<\/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\">2<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"hpu-video-transcript-speaker\">How do success coaches help at High Point University?<\/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=mYNV3iK6eMc&amp;t=56\">0:56<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"hpu-video-transcript-text\">When I came into High Point University, I came in as a criminal justice major and I realized, after taking a few classes my freshman year, I wanted to change my major and pivot.<\/p>\n<p class=\"hpu-video-transcript-text\">So my success coach really helped me develop and work on what I wanted to look for and I landed on political science.<\/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\">3<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"hpu-video-transcript-speaker\">How do HPU professors mentor their students?<\/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=mYNV3iK6eMc&amp;t=70\">1:10<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"hpu-video-transcript-text\">From that time forward, Dr. Settler was a huge mentor to me and still is in my career. He challenged me consistently on my knowledge, my points of views, my work ethic and truthfully it&#039;s something I keep with me to this day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"hpu-video-transcript-text\">Dr. Saris was another one of my mentors here at High Point University. He really helped me through a couple of challenging times here at High Point that I had, you know, just personal and family issues, and he was really graceful with how he guided me through class and honestly to show me what it&#039;s like to be a good person and a good human as well as a great teacher.<\/p>\n<p class=\"hpu-video-transcript-text\">Anyone here at High Point University that you run into, they&#039;re all great people and everyone here is really fantastic.<\/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\">4<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"hpu-video-transcript-speaker\">What career resources does High Point University offer?<\/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=mYNV3iK6eMc&amp;t=102\">1:42<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"hpu-video-transcript-text\">So at High Point, there&#039;s tons of opportunities for you, for, you know, extracurricular learning, including internships, and for me that was pivotal into where I am now.<\/p>\n<p class=\"hpu-video-transcript-text\">It ranges from such a wide variety of career fairs to success coaches to professors to other mentors and even friends that you can connect with. There&#039;s so much to be utilized here and for the incoming students, all I would have to say is use it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"hpu-video-transcript-text\">It&#039;s all within your accessibility and your grasp and it&#039;s entirely important that you chase it and use your drive to build what you want in life.<\/p>\n<p class=\"hpu-video-transcript-text\">So my senior year, I earned an internship with Senator Ted Budd&#039;s campaign and after that, I was able to turn my internship into the job that I work in now full-time.<\/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\">5<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"hpu-video-transcript-speaker\">What life skills are taught at High Point University?<\/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=mYNV3iK6eMc&amp;t=141\">2:21<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"hpu-video-transcript-text\">So at High Point University you&#039;ll hear life skills uh a lot.
