Some of us played multiple sports, some didn’t play any sports. There are different levels of academic interests and club interests. It made me more sensitive to the idea that everybody is a person before they just fit into one box or group. My social justice experience and my activities with different student groups at Shaker really pushed me to find that community at Miami. I found it in my political science major and in student government, where I serve as the secretary for diversity affairs. I loved my intro class on social justice so much that I made it my second major. My Shaker experience was extremely influential in that decision, because it pushed me to find thinkers, people who want to discuss those issues, and not necessarily agree on them, but to discuss things in an educated way and respect others while doing so.
