I had breezed through high school and never really learned how to study. This deficit showed up in how hard I had to work to keep up at Rice.

I had not had a PE experience in either Junior High or High School because of my being in the band and I was really put off by the idea of doing PE.

PT101 at Rice was a whole new experience. It was not all push ups and laps like in Junior High. Rice had the belief that to be a whole person one had to do physical stuff as well as mental stuff. The PT101 curriculum was a string of sporting experiences to show us what the various sports provided. We experienced, volleyball, volleywallball, tennis, basketball, softball, swimming, archery, golf, shooting, weight training, and the list goes on. It was far better than I expected.
