I wanted to go to medical school. But, I never got a college scholarship.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I didn't get an athletics scholarship at a major school.
I was an all-sport athlete growing up. My dad, I think, hoped I would go to college on a scholarship.
When the time came for me to go to college, there was only one scholarship that my high school offered at the time and I didn't win that one, but that didn't stop me. I went on to college anyway. I worked my way through it and paid my student loans for 11 years.
I wouldn't have gone to a Division I school if I didn't have scholarship help. We couldn't afford it.
I was the youngest of seven kids and I would not have been able to go to college without an athletic scholarship.
I was going to college to be a doctor.
I went to school at Colorado State. I finished my degree in pre-medicine and nutrition with aspirations of actually going to graduate school in medicine, which I didn't.
I studied in a medical college and qualified myself as a medical graduate.
So I applied to medical school and received a scholarship at Washington University in St. Louis. Washington University turned out to be a lucky choice. The faculty was scholarly and dedicated and accessible to students.
My mother never asked me whether I wanted to go to college, but told me I was going - to the University of Maryland on an academic scholarship.
