When I first came to UT, last year, I was so unaware of how traveling only one hour away from my home (San Antonio) would feel like a completely different world. I lived on-campus in Jester West, it was not the most glamorous dormitory, but it's were the majority of freshmen stayed. The school randomly assigned me a roommate from Houston, Carolina, she was a freshmen and a Chemistry major. Looking back I remember my greatest fear was that she would be a slob, who would stay up late and constantly rifling through personal belongings. Yeah well I happy to report I was completely wrong, we now live together off-campus with my other two best friends (Jackie & Erica) off Riverside.

The reason I chose UT, was because of the Longhorn Scholars Program. They awarded me a scholarship and a bunch of incentives because I was in the top 10% and the fact that I was from a select group of high schools that has low rates of minority attendance to major Universities. My parents were so proud, I was just happy that my adversities were once going to work to advantage, this time.
