‘Bath’ like ‘shower’

After spending my childhood in a small town called Bath, Michigan, I proudly became the first person in my family to graduate from a four-year university.

Michigan is a polarized state in a few ways, but none so much as college allegiances. “Michigan or Michigan State?” is a common introductory question, and with MSU campus being just a few miles down the road, convention was to root for the home team. I however, have been known to challenge conventions. I remember being six years old when deciding my team, and future alma mater was going to be The University of Michigan. From that moment I owe hard work, a supportive network, and a lot of luck to getting where I am today.
