Show GRADUATION APRIL 15, 2013 A13 BS Valedictorian Sally Hansen SCIENCE AND HEALTH Chemistry [Question] Was it your intention to be Valedictorian or did it just happen? [Answer] Being valedictorian was always a goal in the back of my mind, but I viewed it as a lofty goal and not one that I really thought I would achieve. I was definitely shocked when I found out. [Question] What has been your motivation to succeed? Family, power, ambition, money, fear, OCD, etc.? [Answer] My biggest motivation to succeed has been the fact that I am insanely competitive. As bad as it sounds, beating the guy next to me is what pushes me to work hard and be the best I can be. I am also very driven to make my family and loved ones proud of me and the things I have achieved. [Question] Who has been your mentor/example? Someone on campus you talked to frequently, someone who represented an ideal, a friend who pushed you to keep going, a parent/family member who loved and helped you? [Answer] Dr. Daren Heaton has been my greatest on campus mentor and resource as I've gone through college. I found out he was my relative and signed up for his freshman chemistry class. He took me under his wing and suggested I choose chemistry as a major. Since then I have spent many hours talking with him in his office and he has been a huge part of my success.
