I graduated magna cum laude. After I was accepted to medical school, my grades no longer mattered as much. So I spent less time studying and more time enjoying senior year, reading, and spending time with people I wouldn’t see again for a long time. I’m so glad I did.

How I did it: Being a UScholar is all about being yourself, but the most interesting version of yourself possible. Have a passion, follow it through. And be a great communicator - the University Scholars are the recruiting face of the university, so be sure it's an attractive face. Read how I did it…
I got my Aggie ring on April 16, 2010, during my junior year. It’s absolutely beautiful, and I can’t quit looking at it, even now.
An Aggie ring is worth something more than the gold or the engraving. It means that the wearer knows the Aggie spirit and tries to carry the values of Texas A&M University.
I couldn’t be prouder. This is definitely worth it.
I originally intended to wait for the altar for my first ever kiss.
Then I started dating my first boyfriend (we’ve been dating just a few days shy of six months). After a lot of thinking, reflection, and prayer, I realized that God never asked His people to refrain from kissing. I also realized that I would regret it forever if I didn’t kiss the first man I ever fell in love with.
I didn’t plan it; it just happened. But it was perfect: right guy, right timing, right way, butterflies in the stomach and the whole deal.
I’ve got a big interview tomorrow, so if I get nervous, I’ll think about how I just got kissed today.
