 I run a public relations company and that means I get to combine humanities with actually being an employer and creating jobs and running a business which I'm incredibly proud of. I discovered Gustavus the spring of my senior year in high school and I had no idea what to do after high school. I was thinking I would take a leap year and I saw the course catalog and I saw the theater building in the catalog and I thought a place that has that much arts and literature and theater would be a great place to study for fun for a year and so that's why I went and that conversation with my with my advisor my professor who looked me in the face and said I was allowed to do what I was passionate about and that's what I decided to do. Liberal arts education is is practically unknown in Sweden and Sweden is in particularly strong in humanities. I didn't know what it was when I came. I think liberal arts has shaped me and my head and my brain into being a better analyst, a better reader, a better thinker. Gustavus changed me because it helped me see my culture from the outside and see myself as a foreigner from the outside and understand what it what it feels like to be the odd one. Gustavus changed me lots of ways. There were so many opportunities for me at Gustavus. Some I don't think I recognize at the time and I've seen it in hindsight to to see ways to make a life count and most of them was was was exposing myself to different examples and I feel pride when I come back and I feel that my time at Gustavus was meaningful.
