1. Support System

I am a freshman at Auburn University and I do not know what I would have done without my learning community. The group of girls that I was with have given me so much, but mainly they have given me support. They were there for me when I was having a bad day, or when I was just sad. We were there for each other when emotional things happen or something as trivial as falling and I am more grateful for that than they will ever know.

2. Teacher Mentor

If you ever have the pleasure of knowing Bonnie Wilson you're life will be blessed. She is the most amazing teacher that I have had the pleasure to encounter here at Auburn. She is blunt, funny, and accepting. She has impacted my life more than I can say.

3. Peer Mentor

I had the pleasure of having an Aerospace engineering senior named Jill as my peer mentor. Jill was a great influence on us, always telling us that if we love what we're doing no matter how hard it is than we should stick with it. She also told us that it's ok to get a B, or a C in a class because you are great and if you try your best and don't get an A than be proud of the grade you received.

4. Friends

I would not have the majority of friends that I have now if it wasn't for my learning community. They are always there for me and I am there for them. I don't think that I would be as sane as I am now if it wasn't for them. Especially, Jenn, Hanna, and Kendall they are amazing human beings who help me get through classes and hard days where I just want to stay in bed. They are my stress outlets and some of my closest friends.

5. Study Partners

The last thing I have to say about learning communities is that they provide great study partners. When you sign up for a learning community they put you in classes with other people in the learning community. This was how I passed my history class, and I can't wait to see what the future holds since we still have classes together.

If you are a Freshman coming into Auburn this fall I highly reccomend applying for a Learning Community, you won't regret it!!
