Zohara Scott is no stranger to adventures; The Aussie undergraduate will soon be graduating from the Department of Horticultural Science. While online classes seemed familiar to Zohara, it was connecting with people that is missed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now that she has mastered Landscape Design, Gardens, and Urban Environment studies, she is opening a new chapter. Zohara has found a great internship and sees the opportunities ahead, but it is her friends and family that inspire her next steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m terrible at picking favourites, but overall my most enjoyable moments at NC State have involved getting to work with my professors and classmates. Everyone was coming from a different background and mindset and getting to hear the thoughts and views of others was enlightening and enjoyable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Achieving a GPA of 4.0 has probably been my greatest accomplishment at NC State. I worked very hard in my classes to achieve the results that I did and I am really proud to see the results of my efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I would say that my long-term future plans at this point are ambiguous, but a few decades from now I\u2019d like to be able to look back and know that in some way I helped other people and lived my life in a way that made me happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My final year has been rather busy. While I left my course load light, the pandemic meant I was bouncing around a few jobs while also participating in Pi Alpha Xi. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Online classes weren\u2019t that big of a shock to me. I have been taking online classes since I was in high school. I am very familiar with Moodle and can usually manage my time well enough that I can get everything on my agenda done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While I miss getting to interact with people on campus, it\u2019s nice to be able to see people over Zoom at the very least. Knowing that these changes were put in place to save people’s lives during a pandemic, I honestly haven\u2019t viewed the changes as challenges but just as the right thing to do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am most grateful for the knowledge that I have attained at university. From courses to interacting with other people, I\u2019ve gotten opportunities to gain experience and knowledge that will encourage me to keep moving forward and doing my best, no matter where I end up in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Post-graduation I will be pursuing a design internship at Landvisions Landscaping and am incredibly excited to learn from them. COVID allowing, I am hoping that before the end of the year I will be able to return to Australia to visit my family. <\/p>\n","protected":false,"raw":"\n\n\n\n\n
