DANG - that girl is one bright cookie!!!
The scholarship that she won was not for being the val, it is for that PLUS all the other things that she brought to the table. Being one of 6 students to win this scholarship is a HUGE honor, expecially since there are thousands of incoming freshmen at UT every year. In her case - forget about the one year scholarship they give to some vals - she won the jackpot!!!
