#BearsOfBaylor — “Knowing what [my dad] thought of the university encouraged me…”

“I’ve been thrown heaping amounts of Baylor paraphernalia over the last several weeks [by my] parents, relatives, friends. My dad’s an alum, and then he has a lot of friends who went to Baylor, too.”

[Was your dad a big influence in choosing Baylor?]
“Yeah. Knowing what he thought of the university encouraged me. I’m more excited [for college] because my expectations have been raised by people telling me about the university.”

[What’s the thing that you’re most excited about?]
“Probably running the field for football games, I’ll be honest. That and academics, of course.”

[What’s the thing you’re most intimidated by?]
“Academics. I feel like I’ll be fine, it’s just, you know, higher education. We’ll see how exactly I’m able to fit in immediately.”

[Every Baylor Bear has a story; #BearsOfBaylor brings those stories to you, one by one. These stories, these people… This is our Baylor.]
