Q. What do you plan on doing after graduation from Eureka College with your (Business administration and Accounting)?

Looking for a job locally around here, possibly State Farm or Caterpillar, or going to graduate school in the area. Possibly coming back to campus and assistant coaching the soccer teams next year.

Q. What is one piece of advice you would give an incoming freshman?

This is the last time in your life that you will be with people your own age all day everyday so take advantage of it. After school you will join the workforce of people ranging from 20 to 65 years old. You will not be living and seeing people your own age every day until you are living in a nursing home.  So take advantage of every opportunity while you are young.
