There are people who keep busy, known as busy bees. Then there are the all-out go-getters. Sana Tariq ’22 is among the latter.<\/p>\n
Tariq, a Health Promotion and Wellness major, is the kind of person that makes a vivid impression on the people around her. Take Kristy Nix, head Women’s Volleyball Coach and Life Skills Coordinator, who knows her as well as anyone.<\/p>\n
“Sana has been very involved and passionate as an Orientation Leader, Rambassador, Residence Life Assistant, and my volleyball team manager. She is what an FSC leader is all about – very involved in all aspects of Farmingdale, striving to make the student experience a great one. She puts her best foot forward, and is a friendly and outgoing student willing to go out of her way to help anyone who needs it.”<\/p>\n
Hearing Nix talk about Tariq, it’s unmistakable that FSC is fortunate to have her on campus.<\/p>\n
“I chose FSC because it was close to home, and had many different programs that I was interested in,” Tariq says. “There are a multitude of educational opportunities for each student, which I admire.”<\/p>\n
Tariq was particularly attracted to the Health Promotion and Wellness program, because she is leaning toward a career in healthcare. In 2018, she interned with a dentist, and now has her sites set on working at a hospital, private clinic, nursing home – even health education. She plans to pursue a Master’s in Education after she graduates.<\/p>\n
Tariq has impressed not only Nix, but the staff that oversees the residence halls. Last semester she was named RA Programmer of the Year – quite an accomplishment for a first-year RA.<\/p>\n
Tariq is also a top-notch student, who like only an elite few, can handle both classwork and volunteering. She has a formula that works for her.<\/p>\n
“I use my time wisely. Time management is the key to my success. I usually write out on my calendar, work days, exam days, important due dates, meetings, RA duty, even celebrations, all in color coordination to keep myself organized. While having a busy schedule I also have to squeeze in some time for myself, such as going to the gym.”<\/p>\n
And anyone who knows Tariq, knows she has a high-energy motivation motor.<\/p>\n
“The main thing that drives me are my parents, my goals, and ambitions. When I was going through elementary\/middle school I worked very hard to work my way up. I struggled with common-core classes when I was younger, but with the support of my parents I was able to get to where I am today.”<\/p>\n
Tariq is also motivated to do community work, having helped at Toys for Tots and Relay for Life.<\/p>\n
“Being a part of community service is very rewarding. It feels better knowing you’re helping people and organizations that are in dire need. It only takes lending a hand to make a change in an individual’s life.”<\/p>\n
All in all, it doesn’t seem enough to call Tariq a go-getter. How about over-achiever, dynamo, or live wire? Better yet, all of the above.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
