MAJOR: Biology/Pre-Med
GRADUATION YEAR:
2021
EXEC/MINOR POSITION: CARD-V
Chair
WHY DID YOU CHOOSE ALPHA CHI: Because
when I came to William Woods, I was a quiet, insecure girl from a small town. I
wasn’t used to seeing my own potential because I was used to everyone already
knowing who I was before really knowing me. Honestly, I don’t think I really
even knew who I was or who I could be. ..but, when you move to a different
state you can become whoever you want to be.
I still didn’t see my full potential, but my sisters
sure did! I’ve become the best version of myself as a result of the endless
love and support from my sisters. I can say without a doubt that for the rest
of my life, my sisters will continue to pushme to be the best that I can and
love me even when I’m not. That’s why I chose Alpha Chi Omega not only then but
for the rest of my life.
WHAT ELSE YOU ARE INVOLVED IN ON CAMPUS: PreMed
