My name is Jackie Pimentel and I am a rising junior from Rhode Island majoring in a BS in Psychology with a minor in Human Family Science. This summer is uncertain for me, as the virus has lead me to not quite knowing if I’m going to have a job or not. I normally work as a lifeguard at a country club and at Syracuse as well, however I might have to find a new one, or even go without one this summer. I chose to do this class online for the summer to get ahead of my credits and to complete it for my major. First semester I had to unfortunately take a leave of absence and I had to withdraw from 16 credits, so I’m playing a big game of catchup! With the uncertainty of a job and quarantine still in effect, I figured taking an online course this summer would be perfect, especially with the transition we just had with having our courses be fully online for the rest of the semester.
Nice to meet you, Jackie. I hope everything works out with the rest of your plans for summer, even if things move in a new direction.
