The first time I visited Fisk University was during Scholar's Weekend. I saw that Fisk shared the same family atmosphere as my own family. I knew Fisk was the perfect fit for me, even during the horrible tornado that hit North Nashville in March of 2020, I was on campus and was able to see how all the incredible Fiskites band together to help out the community. Fisk not only gives you an extraordinary education but lessons that follow you past your years on campus.

One of the factors that influenced my decision to attend Fisk was the small class size because I was very particular about receiving one-on-one attention from professors (I prefer one on one tutoring). Fisk was my first choice because of the small class ratio of about 12:1, which was the lowest of the other schools I applied to. Aside from the small class size, Fisk also provided me with a full tuition scholarship. There are numerous activities in place to ensure that each student has a positive school experience and thrives here.

Upon completing my matriculation through my Biology program, I plan on attending medical school and ultimately becoming a medical anesthesiologist. This ardent ambition is deeply rooted in my desire to serve as a beacon of inspiration within my community, a testament to the unwavering power of hard work and determination. With each step I take, I yearn to demonstrate to others that every goal, no matter how lofty, can be achieved through sheer dedication and perseverance.

I was attracted to Fisk University based on both its academic reputation as well as knowing several others from my high school whom I respected attending here ahead of me. Fisk has lived up to its academic reputation and more. I have found opportunities for personal growth and development not only academically, but also to expand beyond the classroom knowledge.

Once I stepped foot on this campus, it was something about it that draws you in and makes you feel that you are destined for greatness. Fisk not only gets your ready for the professional world but, socially as well. Being around all my fellow Fiskites from around the globe is an unreal experience.

Fisk has given me the courage and the humility to advance myself into an ever-changing and evolving world. By pushing me to see my true talents my professors and the Fisk Family have shown me that I can not only make it into elitist spaces but excel within them.
