The reason I came to Caltech and the reason I stay is the atmosphere here. This is a community of people who are all trying to help one another. I can't count the number of times someone has put aside everything else to help me out of an academic bind. My major doesn't have an increadible variety of classes, but I'm learning things here that I don't think I could get anywhere else. I've learned how to work with other people on projects, how to ask for help when I need it, how to give help to others, and how to approach and solve almost any problem I'm faced with. There have been countelss times I've read an assignment or test through for the first time and didn't have any idea what they were talking about or how to go about solving the problem. But Caltech has given me the skills I need to break it down, understand what needs to be done, research ways to do it, and then get it done. Caltech has definitely pushed me to my limits. There were times when I called home crying because I didn't think I could make it, but in the end I'm always amazed by what I've accomplished.
