Mercer to me means that I’m majoring in changing the world. To me it means that I can go out there, and I can move to another country by myself, and I’ll still have that spirit and that backbone and that desire to help other people.

I was chosen to be on the first Academic All-America (basketball) Team. It kind of put me in the top category as far as academics and athletics in the country. … (It) was just a really, really exciting moment.
