Quote:
"I chose Emory because it was one of few institutions
where neither my pursuit for excellence in the classroom nor on the
field would be compromised. While I came in pursuit of this
excellence, what I received is so much more. I have learned more
about myself and grown more at Emory than I ever could have
imagined. My teammates are my best friends and provide me with a
home away from home."
