As an athlete, I am fortunate enough to have an academic advisor appointed to me. I get to meet with my advisor, Travis Ballard, once a week and I have already seen him twice this week to discuss my major and my schedule for next semester. Travis is very on top of things. He makes sure I am keeping up with all of my work in my classes. He notifies me when I have upcoming tests and assignments. Lastly, he makes sure that I am balancing school and golf, while also making sure that I am enjoying myself. Without Travis, I would be completely lost in this hectic college world!

The Vark survey told me that I am a kinesthetic learner. Kinesthetic learning is a learning style in which learning takes place by the students carrying out physical activities, rather than listening to a lecture or watching demonstrations. I have always learned best by physically doing things. I’ve always had some trouble learning when teachers stand at the front of the room and lecture or just hand out worksheets.  I need to be very “hands on” with the material or it will go right over my head!
