Why Brown? “In high school, I took an academic path that someone had already prepared for me. The journey took work, but there was a pathway to follow and fences along the path. Unlike other universities, Brown tears up that path. There are no markings. No fences. It’s more exciting, and I'll emerge not only with a strong education – but with the adaptability and grit to find my own way.”
