"I chose UWF's Philosophy/ Religious Studies program because I wanted to know what it meant to be a real human being. That way I could help other people find their own meaning in life."

"I chose to study philosophy in the same way one chooses to breath oxygen after having the wind knocked out of 'em. Philosophy literally saved me from myself; I am alive because of it, having never truly lived before."

"I chose Philosophy because it allows my mind to wonder. I like the radical freedom that comes with philosophical thought. I also want to see if I am able to succeed in this field."
