Hello, my name is Raul Rosique Jr. I’m a senior here at Syracuse University studying health and exercise science on the physical therapy track. I’m at Falk College of sports and human dynamics and prior to my time here I was a Navy for five years at a station out of Pearl Harbor Hawaii on a nuclear submarine. Syracuse should be in Everyone’s radar not just because academic goals but because the resources they have here. Whatever you want to be in life this, school will help you achieve those goals. It’s good I’m a veteran, but that doesn’t have to be my only identity here on this campus. This campus allows so many resources for me but I think it truly makes a difference is just the affection they have for student veterans on campus if I ever need help someone’s there help me as a real person not just a number.
