Intro to Speech

  It’s great to be at the University of Kentucky! My name is Ethan Pike. I’m really excited to be here to get a better education and take in the college experience. I am a freshman and have every intention of graduating in four, or four and a half, years with a degree in mechanical engineering. I currently reside in Woodland Glen three which is a dorm for the engineering LLP students. I’ve made some great friends in the dorm and believe it will help my success.

  I grew up in a small town not far from here called Berea. I had lived in the same house my whole life with my family consisting of my mother, father, and little brother. Before I came to UK I was very involved with my friends and with my local church. I played video games, sports, or board games with them close to five occasions a week. I will miss them. I attended my church regularly on Sunday mornings and Wednesday nights. I also went to camps and mission trips with them over the summer and for many years before this. I have many mentors at that church and will miss that group and that church most of all.

  While I may have moved out of my hometown I still like to do many of the things I did before. I still enjoy sports and close knit church groups like my friends at the Baptist Campus Ministry. The Johnson Center is a great place to work out or play racquetball and I go there at least five times a week. Whenever I’m not doing those things I am on YouTube, playing video games, or reading. My studies to take up some of my time, but I have a manageable semester so far and have had enough down time to really enjoy myself and meet new people.

It’s great to be part of the Big Blue Nation!

Ethan Pike
