Hola from Peru!
Jul. 20, 2012—Hello hello! I am currently sitting in my room in my new home in Lima, Peru. I am staying with a host family for three weeks, as I volunteer in a medical clinic.
And so the end is near…
Jul. 20, 2012—And I am quite saddened. Sure, I have one week left, but today definitely felt like the beginning of the end of this awesome summer opportunity.
VanderBabies! (Part 1 of 3)
Jul. 15, 2012—Almost a year ago, I arrived at Vanderbilt as the only student from my high school class. This year, three students from my high school will be joining the Vanderbilt family.

Reliving the SATs
Jul. 8, 2012—If you're reading this as a potential Vanderbilt student (or as an admitted one), you know the woes of SAT and ACT prep. You know about sitting for several hours in cold rooms to take the tests that help determine your future college. This summer, I've taken the time to re-live these standardized tests--and I'm actually enjoying it.
MCAT…DONE!
Jul. 8, 2012—My summer has finally begun! I know it seems a little late, but I can finally relax! I took the MCAT on Friday afternoon, so my summer studies are officially over.
An Unexpected 4th of July
Jul. 6, 2012—One of the most challenging moments for me my freshman year was when my parents moved to Washington, D.C. when my mom got a new job. When I went home on breaks from school I was not able to re-connect with old friends as many of my other peers were, and I found myself missing...
