Here in Hanover, Dartmouth in general I feel like a lot of- a lot of
students are placed in a track that they find hard to break out of.
There’s an investment track, the consulting track, med school track - about
five major career choices. Being exposed to something like the hurricane
ravaged area shows you that you can use your life to do a whole gamut of
different activities and then maybe ultimately use the experiences to come back
to, say, a law degree or a M.D. or go into investment banking. But while
you’re young and you have opportunity knocking at your door, going out and
experiencing what there is to see and getting your hands dirty is one of the
most rewarding things you can do.
The Tucker Foundation has helped me personally see that I have a larger
role to play in a community whether that be local, state, national or global;
that as someone with an education, both academic, spiritual and interpersonal I
have something else to give besides what I thought I had to give when I came
into Dartmouth. I no longer just see myself as going through life for my
own personal good, or that of the people that are directly around
me. I feel like there’s a much larger impact that I have to make on
society because I’ve seen how much there needs to be done.
