\nMy favorite thing to do on campus is work out and play basketball at SU and go to esports with my friends.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nI want to either be a Teaching Assistant or be a Transition Coordinator for InclusiveU.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nWhen I first came to SU, I was in a program called SU OnCampus through the Syracuse City School District. I was nervous at first but with my mentors help I got out of my comfort zone and I started to make friends in InclusiveU while I was in the SU OnCampus.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nMy favorite thing at InclusiveU is I love seeing InclusiveU students help other inclusive u students it makes my day.<\/p>\n
\nI love to work out play my video games play basketball play board games I love to take long walks and I love to help people.<\/p>\n
\nBe yourself and don’t pretend to be someone else because that person thinks always be yourself no matter what.<\/p>\n![\"Student](\"https:\/\/taishoffcenter.syr.edu\/inclusiveu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/06\/Website-Resize-2-1-300x300.png\")

\nMy favorite things to do on campus are going to the football game with friends
\nand going to the group dinner that is held by the RM’s. It helps us be more social
\nwith each other. Also going to the club’s events I am in.<\/p>\n
\nWhen I am out of college and older I would like to continue doing my advocacy
\nwork and to talking with senators and lawmakers for new and better policies for
\npeople with disabilities in all the states. I want to be a gym teacher or some role
\nwith InclusiveU. I also may want to work at schools to make special education
\nbetter to make them inclusive NOT segregated. A really big future dream is to
\nopen and own a sensory studio where PT’s and OT\u2019s could work with their clients
\nand people that may not have PT or OT but could get and or just come to the
\nsensory studio for whatever the reason maybe. People with and without
\ndisabilities would be welcomed.<\/p>\n
\nThe way I made new friends when I first came to InclusiveU was I was just
\nmyself. Yes I was a little shy and nervous but I just put myself out there and be
\nmyself.<\/p>\n
\nMy favorite thing about InclusiveU is the community and where I fell in love doing
\nadvocacy and the InclusiveU events.<\/p>\n
\nFor fun I like to hang out with my friend at the games and all of the different fun
\nevents. Going to the gym. And that I am part of a couple clubs on campus Best
\nBuddies, Girl Gains, Special Olympic, Runway of Dreams and Planned
\nParenthood Generation Action. Three of the clubs I am a part of the executive
\nboard. I hope to join even more clubs.<\/p>\n
\n1. Be yourself!
\n2. Make friends!
\n3. Get involved!
\n4. Work hard!
\n5. Have Fun!
\n6. Welcome to the InclusiveU family!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
