Hey there, I'm Salvador Garcia Lopez. 

00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:08.000
I'm an earth science major here at Western Oregon University

00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:10.000
and I am a transfer student.

00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:13.000
I came to Western back in 2017 because I was looking for 

00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:16.000
a university with small class sizes and

00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:17.000
a small town feel.

00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:20.000
Once I transferred to Western, I knew I made the right choice.

00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:23.000
Because I felt a sense of community and belonging.

00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:25.000
During my time here at Western, I have been very involved 

00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:29.000
in clubs and organizations like student government,

00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:31.000
rugby, the peer mentor program,

00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:34.000
the natural science club and many more clubs.

00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:36.000
There's a lot of places to get a degree from

00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:38.000
and if you're like me I just want you to know

00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:40.000
that it's okay to be a transfer student.

00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:42.000
I believe fate always points you in the right direction.

00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:44.000
And in my case it was Western.

00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:47.000
I hope to see you on campus next term. GO Wolves!
