Student life is the best time to discover who you
are, not only professionally, but personally. It
is the time to take chances, to explore all kinds
of activities, to think and act outside of the
box. By allowing yourself the freedom to explore,
you not only discover what you like but what you
dont like as well. By doing so, you have a
strong basis for choosing career paths, friends
and direction in life.
