It was a really easy transition from NSU, straight into my career field. I’m working for Seminole Science Charter School (FL), which is a tuition-free, public charter school that specializes in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) classes. Had it not been for NSU robotics (Robotics Academy of Critical Engagement or R.A.C.E.), there was no way I could have competed for this position. They interviewed people from all over the United States and my experiences here definitely gave me an edge over a lot of candidates.

Attending medical school has always been a dream of mine; therefore I knew that I needed to attend an undergraduate program with quality professors and smaller class sizes. NSU became a place where I could concentrate on my courses and interact directly with my professors in order to gain valuable knowledge that would set me apart from students who attended other institutions. In addition, their focus on research allowed me to gain experience in some of the world’s trendiest topics such as cancer research and molecular pharming.

Apply yourself from day one. You’re here for a reason—to get an education, to better yourself, to give back to the community in some way, shape or form. I took a tour of NSU and automatically fell in love with it. I got the letter 10 days later. It was the longest 10 days of my life. Right then I went back to Tahlequah, signed up for my classes and I started applying myself even harder, because I knew this was a university and I really wanted to do it right this time. I’m on the honor roll—again. It’s amazing. A lot of people probably have the same story that I have. It’s never too late to go back. I’m 27 years old and I will graduate when I am 29 or 30. At the end of the day, I am going to have that piece of paper and I’m going to be where I want to be in life.
