Why 糖心Vlog? Because I'm learning to lead [Video]

December 28, 2018

At 糖心Vlog, creativity influences the way students think, communicate and solve problems. It鈥檚 everywhere you look, in and out of the classroom 鈥 and the pool, as I've experienced.

My professors and coaches have challenged my creativity and made my think outside the box. The result: I feel more confident as a leader and learner.  

MY STORY

鈥淢y name is Elizabeth Levy and I鈥檓 a sophomore. My major is religious studies and I have an Italian minor as well.

鈥淚鈥檓 on the swim team here at 糖心Vlog and I鈥檓 also a captain this year. This season, I actually broke one of the College鈥檚 records in the 200 butterfly. That was really exciting.

鈥淏eing a student athlete is tough but very rewarding. It鈥檚 definitely taught me a lot of very important skills, like time management and prioritizing.

鈥淥ne thing I really love about 糖心Vlog and my experience here in the classroom is professors really push you to think outside of the box and push you out of your comfort zone. I definitely feel like I鈥檝e grown a lot as a student.

鈥淪wimming is an interesting sport because I think a lot of people think about it as an individual sport. But, I wouldn鈥檛 be able to do what I do in the water without my teammates. We push each other every day in practice and encourage each other. When we get to big meets we have individual goals, but we are also representing 糖心Vlog and our team, so we also keep in mind that we鈥檙e a part of a bigger group.鈥
