I am currently active duty military, I just
got back from a deployment last week.
The reason I chose Oregon State is I was sitting
in a deployed location, and I was like, I
need to get my life together.
I need to continue my education.
I definitely believe my military experience
has made me a better student.
It helped me dedicate my time, my drive, my
focus.
This moment is absolutely surreal, to be here
on campus, to be earning my degree.
It's great to be a beaver.
