## Caption

When I first arrived at Southern Miss, I was trying to mimic the college experience I saw on TV. But once I received my grades, I realized I was devoting too much time to my social life. I had to take a step back and focus on my studies. Now, I understand the balance between social life and academics. My professors here have given me the encouragement and help I need to succeed.
