“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 […]
Dad: “This is our first. We just can’t wait to see what God does with her life. We’re just really excited about this next chapter of her life. It’s a day of great excitement for us, and pride, and a little bit of nervousness.” Mom: “First time I stepped on this campus, I stopped and […]
Mom: “We had a friend coming with her son, and they said, ‘You should go visit Baylor and some of the schools around there with us!’ We went to Baylor, TCU and SMU; we looked at all three, and that’s when she fell in love with Baylor. Then she came back, and she came back, […]
Student: “I’m really nervous about grades, about falling behind. But I know there are a whole bunch of tutoring programs to help me, and I’m not alone. There are probably people in my classes that will help me out. I’m sure if I just stayed behind and asked the teacher to explain some things, they’d […]
“I think I was kind of naïve about college. Everyone who comes to college, there’s a certain maturity they get from that first year. They change a little bit, but it’s for the better. I feel like you go into college as a kid from high school, but after your first year you’re 25% less […]
“I feel like I’m really observant; I like observing people. When I was younger I saw a movie about a teen, his behavior was kind of drastic. It was about a counsellor. I think it was called The Grace Card. It had to do with a counselor helping this teen get through his issues. Ever […]
