While peers sought campus experiences, the author prioritized local education and employment to gain field experience without the burden of dorm expenses. Responding to concerns about missing out on college life, the author remained resolute in pursuing personal goals and ultimately enjoyed a rich college experience tailored to personal and professional aspirations.
