Southern Mississippi Reflection

Improved Essays
The University of Southern Mississippi means growth. In the three semesters I have attended this university, I have grown more as a person than ever imagined.

I have grown as a leader, and discovered that I really enjoy being in a position of leadership through my time here. There has also been significant growth in my interpersonal relationships.

    Fall River Reflection

I think that over the course of my visits I was able to conceptualize all of the small parts of the factories and understand how they work in unison but I was not able…
