Other Activities Involved In: Inter-Health Council Vice President What is the best advice Khiem has ever received? The best piece of advice Khiem has received is prioritizing yourself as a person first, prioritize yourself as a student secondly, then come other tasks. Coming to college means juggling with many different tasks (classes, extracurricular, socializing, etc.). However, it is important that one prioritizes their health and wellbeing over anything else. What has been the most rewarding part of being a Keck student? In Khiem's opinion, the most rewarding part of being a Keck student is the familiar faces. Because the programs are small and Keck students tend to have similar coursework, Khiem keeps seeing his peers from previous Keck classes in his new classes. This gives Khiem comfort and confidence in Keck classes because he knows that the peers that he had developed friendships with have his back whenever he needs them. |
