After a myriad of troubles from different areas of my life, I decided to transfer to Ohio Wesleyan, where I immediately began pursuing an English major.\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I have learned more about myself through these courses than I have anywhere else, and the skills I have developed helped me to begin a (hopeful) career in the Marketing field. As a member of the swim team, I will miss the countless hours spent in Meek as well as in Sturges, and I\u2019m eternally grateful for everything that each area of my involvement has given to me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-1496 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.owu.edu\/engblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/118\/2018\/04\/nia.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"130\" height=\"147\" \/>Nia Stanford:\u00a0<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">My name is Nia Stanford.

At OWU, I served as a student Justice on the Student Conduct Board and as a Senator on our student government council.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I try to be very humble when it comes to awards because I want to be remembered for my actions, not the awards. As Dr. King said, \u201cS<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">ay that I was a drum major for justice. Say that I was a drum major for peace. I was a drum major for righteousness. And all of the other shallow things will not matter\u201d (King,<\/span>\u00a0&#8220;<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Drum Major<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">,&#8221; 185\u2013186).
