“I heard that comparison is the thief of joy, but I didn’t understand it until college. Among students, comparing grades and test scores is normal. While I recognize the reassurance it might bring, I’ve also realized it’s an incomplete picture of someone’s effort or potential. Everyone’s journey is shaped uniquely—some grades come from stable environments, others from sleepless nights. Regardless, we all aim for growth, and the journey and the mistakes we make along the way are the best experiences one can get in life.”

“Over my last 4 years of being a student at Oregon Tech, my greatest learning experience is that with perseverance, you can do anything. ”

“I chose Oregon Tech because it was close to my family, and I would be able to study cadavers and have a hands-on experience.”
