Why did I come to St. Bonaventure University and why I am a journalism and mass communication major? To answer why I came to St. Bonaventure, I have to first explain what happened when I was 13. I was in a horrific snowboarding accident. That put me in a coma for more than 90 days, had to re-learn to walk and talk again, and had to go through years of out-patient therapy on top of that.
Because of this incident, I struggled throughout my years of school. However, I was an excellent student beforehand so I had years of built up trust. I applied to nearly 30 different colleges, only to get denied from them all. But, I was up at HoliMont for the five year anniversary and we were talking to Mark Schultz, the man who gave me CPR as we were going down the mountain the very first time. And, he was an alumni of St. Bonaventure University and was the reason why I looked into it in the first place.
And so, I went through about a dozen different majors until I found right one and all I had to do was open my mind. I'm glad that I found this major because I feel like I have put myself forward and found all the correct people that will guide me to the finish line. I am excited for what is to come in life and am looking forward to everything.
