After graduating from Jonathan Law last year, Sean Luxedor took the next step in his educational journey at the University of South Carolina, where he is studying History.

Since arriving on campus, Luxedor has been adjusting to college life while exploring his passion for learning about the past.

“College is definitely different from high school, but I’ve really enjoyed the experience so far,” Luxedor said. “It took some time getting used to everything, but now I feel a lot more comfortable.”

Sean explained that moving away from home and managing classes on his own helped him become more independent and responsible.

History has become one of Luxedor’s favorite subjects because of the stories and lessons behind important events. He enjoys learning how past decisions and movements still impact the world today.

“I like studying history because there’s always something new to learn,” Luxedor said. “You start to understand why things are the way they are today.”

Luxedor said his classes have helped him improve his writing, research, and critical thinking skills during his first year of college.

Even with the challenges of balancing schoolwork and campus life, Luxedor says the experience has been worth it. He has enjoyed meeting new people, attending events, and becoming part of the university community.

“One of the best parts has been meeting people from different places and trying new things,” Luxedor said. “It’s helped me grow as a person.”
