I decided to attend Western because I wanted to major in Communication Studies at a school with a strong academic standing.

This term I'm taking two communication classes: Conflict Management and Contemporary Issues in Media.

00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:30.000
I'm also taking a political science course as part of a sequence for my major.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:34.000
One thing I really like about WOU is the classroom size.

00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:42.000
Classroom sizes are great to get to know your teachers on a personal level. It makes learning more fun when you feel like the teacher is talking to you in the room.

00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:48.000
I'm also a student athlete here at Western. I play shooting guard on the men's Basketball team.

00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:54.000
And the privilege of being a guard in general on the basketball team is you are a leader.

00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:61.000
You want to translate what you learn from the classroom to the floor and you want to translate from the floor to the classroom.

00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:10.000
I am very pleased with my decision in attending Western. I've had a terrific basketball career. 

00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:21.000
And making it to the national tournament this year. Most importantly, I'm going to be getting my degree in Communication Studies thus taking me into my career.

00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:26.000
ESP analysis, you know that's always been the dream to stay involved with sports through communication.

00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:31.000
And doing that as an analysis would be like the dream come true.
