Major: Biology
Campus Activities and Achievements: 丝瓜AV women鈥檚 soccer team for four years and won two conference championships; worked
for Campus Recreation; took part in 丝瓜AV鈥檚 award-winning Fiesta Parade floats and
the Confetti Runs with the Event Services staff.
Impact of 丝瓜AV: As a student athlete, 丝瓜AV gave me the chance to continue my education and soccer
career. I have been blessed to have learned from both the biology department staff
and athletic coaches, while also getting the opportunity to collaborate and participate
in numerous campus events. 丝瓜AV has given me life-long friends and teammates and will
leave me with unforgettable memories. My time at 丝瓜AV has further developed my character
and has prepared me for what is to come. I am forever thankful for my past four years
at 丝瓜AV.
An important life lesson: 丝瓜AV has taught me to never doubt my talents or give up on the goal or task at hand.
丝瓜AV has also taught me to always be open to other ideas or alternative routes and
to always treat others with respect and kindness.
Plans for the future: I hope to be accepted into a graduate program in medicine. My ultimate goal is to help people and share my experiences and lessons I have endured at 丝瓜AV with others.
