“We are here with Alpha Phi Omega, which is a co-ed service fraternity, and we run the blood drive twice a year. This semester is really special, because all the donations are going towards the victims in Houston. I’m hoping the purpose of this will touch the hearts of a lot more people, and hopefully […]
“I’m very passionate about joining the military. My dad was in the Air Force, and I’ve seen all of the benefits that he’s been able to have and how he’s passed them along to us. “I moved around a lot, and I got to meet a lot of different people. I’m a very social person, […]
“I’m from this area, and growing up I went to sporting events before McLane Stadium was a thing. As I got older, I learned how much Baylor actually loves its students. They don’t just say they are a Baptist university; they are a Baptist university. “I don’t think you could find the compassion you get […]
“My whole family is Deaf. My parents, my twin sister and some extended family members are all Deaf. I grew up in a home where American Sign Language was my first language. I’m a social work major, because I’ve seen oppression on a lot of different levels, and I’ve seen people discount my family just […]
“My favorite Bible verse is 1 Peter 5:6, which is, ‘Humble yourself, therefore, under the mighty hand of God. He will exalt you in good time.’ I take that as, no matter the struggle you’re in, no matter how much stress you have, there are people around you who care about you that will help […]
“It felt good coming back [after the summer]. This is my new home now. I was back with my friends and back with my familiarity, versus back home I was still living out of a suitcase, and it didn’t feel as much of a home as Baylor does.” [Any advice for new students about getting […]
“The thing that stands out to me the most about Baylor is how often I’m able to interact with my professors. It’s rare in engineering that an undergraduate student can work as a part of a research team, and I’ve been able to do that. And it’s not like I’m the only one; I’m not […]
“I tell people I found my calling during Chapel at Baylor, which is weird, but true. I’d never thought of anti-human trafficking efforts and things like that before, but the more I was in my major, the more I realized I didn’t want to work in policy about people. I wanted to work specifically with […]
“When I first came here, I was really shy and nervous. I’m from Chicago, so I didn’t have too many friends here. It was kind of nerve-wracking stepping on campus, but as time went on, I was more of an extrovert instead of my normal introverted self. I really believe that the students brought out […]
“My grandma passed away almost five years ago, and I was very close to her. When someone would have a birthday, we would all sing ‘Happy Birthday,’ and at the end she would sing this sort of prayer. The last time that she sang that song was to my mom. [The tattoo is] the sound […]
