Talking with Ruben Joseph \u201923 is like entering a warm, inviting space. His friendly demeanor and easy laughter pair well with a wisdom normally reserved for people well beyond his years. The combination is ideal for his current position as resident adviser for Dalton-Voigt hall and for the psychiatrist he will become. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Joseph is a sophomore neuroscience major and resident adviser for Dalton-Voigt hall.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Even as a first-year student at Transy, the neuroscience major served as The Rambler student newspaper’s advice columnist. His love of writing drew him to the paper, but his ability to guide others through the challenges of being a student held sway. He\u2019s a bit incredulous as he recounts how his advice on time management was helpful to some of his peers who were getting bogged down by hours of homework. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Where people feel so overwhelmed,\u201d he says, \u201cis because they look at everything at once. But if you break it down and just tackle things one at a time then you realize that you can do a lot more than you think you can.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He shared the method that works for him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every day, after each class, he goes to one of the rooms in the library\u2019s Dugi Academic Center for Academic Excellence<\/a>, plunks down onto a beanbag chair, turns on the music in his earphones and knocks out homework until the next class. By the end of the day, the evening is all his. This is a good thing, because he\u2019s also part of Delta Sigma Phi, Black Student Alliance and Student Government Association. He\u2019s interested in working interchangeably with these groups to help amplify the voices of BSA and to broaden the membership, which is open to everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being organized is who Joseph is. It makes meeting his goals possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m the kind of person that likes to plan everything out ahead of time. I\u2019m a little neurotic in that way,\u201d he says with laughter, \u201cbecause if I get a little bit off, I get overwhelmed and irritated. I like everything to be planned and structured.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Joseph sets mini goals and gives himself a weekly “shout-out.”<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Pointing to the large calendar on his dorm wall, he explains how he sets \u201cmini goals\u201d for himself every day and a motivational weekly goal. In the upper-right corner is space for a personal \u201cshout-out.\u201d As he ticks off each item on his calendar through his busy week, he interprets them as \u201cmini victories.\u201d By the end of the week, he gives himself a visual shout-out. It\u2019s all part of keeping his long-term dreams alive and thriving \u2014 in spite of the additional challenges during the COVID-19 period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat little shout-out just makes me feel better and really gives me a push for the next week. So I take it day by day, week by week, and by the end of it I look back and I see the mountains I\u2019ve overcome.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His plans to become a psychiatrist began early in high school. \u201cI\u2019ve always loved psychology,\u201d he says, recalling the many classes he\u2019s taken and his interest in analyzing everything \u2014 from books to movies to people. But the clincher came when he shadowed his mother, a psychiatrist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI loved the relationships she built with her patients. And I\u2019ve always loved medicine as well, so it\u2019s kind of the best of both worlds,\u201d he says. \u201cI just knew this is what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joseph also knew that he wanted to branch out of Florida to discover who he is. When his college search introduced him to Transylvania, it answered all of his wishes. \u201cI wanted a small school, so that was perfect,\u201d he says, and the financial award was more generous than any other college. But, he adds, \u201cI guess the icing on the cake or the cherry on top was the neuroscience program.\u201d As he researched the program, he was struck by what the students were doing and where graduates of the program were now. \u201cI was like, \u2018OK, I\u2019m sold.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Joseph says he\u2019s fascinated by the brain\u2019s complexity and how it works. \u201cI want to explore it because there\u2019s so much about the brain that people haven\u2019t discovered yet. I\u2019d really like to be part of that research.\u201d He\u2019s well on his way and very thankful for the opportunities and for the alumni who help fund his scholarship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cForemost,\u201d he says, \u201cI\u2019d like to attempt to express the immense gratitude I have for Transy. Although it\u2019s hard to put into words how much Transy has helped me, I can definitely say that I would not be here if it weren\u2019t for the scholarships.\u201d It\u2019s an experience he\u2019d like to share with other Floridians, including those who might not have considered heading northward or attending a small liberal arts school. His strategy is to depict what the experience means to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI explain that Transy has so much to offer. There\u2019s so much potential. It\u2019s a great opportunity to be a part of it,\u201d he says. \u201cI try to show them the intimacy of the smaller classes, of having personal relationships with professors, rather than being a number in a large class. These are all the things I try to sell them on Transy, because that\u2019s what sold me.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
