My name is Sydney Haack, I’m nineteen
years old, and this is my second semester here at Dixie State. I am from Grants Pass, a town in southern
Oregon. I've lived there my whole life
with my family, my mom, dad, brothers Joshua, Eli, and my sister
Mason. Grants Pass was a nice place
to grow up, but there isn't much opportunity there once you graduate high
school and I was getting a bit stir crazy and was ready for some change so I
decided to move out of state for school.
My mom’s parents and five siblings all live in the Orem, UT area. They’re a super close knit family, so I always wanted to move to Utah eventually and this
seemed like a good opportunity. Dixie
State was a pretty random choice for which school to go to, I thought about
going to Utah Valley University to be close to family, but something about
Dixie really stood out to be and felt right so I decided to go with it. I’m a pretty reserved person and was really
nervous to be moving by myself to a new state, to a new city and school where I
did not know one person, but after one semester I can say it was one of the
best decisions I’ve ever made. I’ve met
great people and have been enjoying the independence and different perspectives
that being on my own gives me.
As of right now, my major is Elementary
Education, but I haven’t completely decided whether or not that’s what I want
to do. I’m also considering secondary
education to be a high school English teacher, or maybe go into social
work.I am excited for this course and don't have any concerns about it right now. I have always loved making and looking at art. I recently took a painting class but I've never taken any art history type of classes so I look forward to getting to dig a bit deeper this semester.
