The program's first month has just ended, and it flew by so quickly. Each and every day has been a learning experience, and I am so grateful for the professors and the friends I have made through the program. My experience thus far has been better than I had imagined.
The program has humbled and strengthened me at the same time. Within this month of Grad school, we have covered about 75% of what my undergrad institute taught. I can finally say that I understand the analogy of drinking water from a fire hose. There has been so much information thrown at us, and at times it can get overwhelming, but my saving grace has been the professors and my classmates. The professors, all unique in their own way, have helped make this transition into grad school significantly easier. The genuine concern about us doing well in the program is definitely a highlight of this program. They give us all the tools that we need to succeed and encourage us along the way.
Coming from undergrad, I was a big loner when it came to studying, but this program has pushed me to step out of that mindset and try group studying. It has been a game-changer for me. Hearing and seeing the way my classmates process things has broadened the way I think and study. We all bring a different perspective to the study materials, and we teach each other and help bring an understanding to the group.
Overall, this first month of the program has been great. I am so grateful that I decided to do the program, and I can't wait to see my progression over the course of the year!
