My name is Ben Pastore. I am from Wilmington, Massachusetts and I am a pre-pharmacy major at the University of New England. I chose UNE because of how supportive the professors and students made the school feel inclusive and made it seem like they wanted me to come here. The community and feeling of support drew me like a magnet to UNE, and so far I have loved every second here.
Some things I like to do in my free time are hang out with my family, friends, and puppy named Mookie. I love to watch hockey when its on, and try to play with my friends on a local pond during the freezing Massachusetts winters. I am an avid fan of the Boston Bruins and the Anaheim Ducks.
My philosophy on learning is to never stop absorbing knowledge. Learning does not have to just be from a textbook, it can come from anywhere, especially through asking questions. Striving to learn and study the world around you will make you an overall, more rounded and educated person.
