Inclined to succeed. USA Today First-teamer
Lillian Pierce is at the point where she's starting to think
seriously about what she wants to do with her life. Current news and
events
After talking with her and reading
her three-page resume, one gets the sense that the hardest
decision she'll make won't be what to do but what not
to do in order to achieve her goals.
Pierce was one of 20 students
recently named by USA Today to its All-USA College Academic
First Team for outstanding intellectual achievement and
leadership. She was selected from 682 students nominated by
colleges and universities in 49 states and the District of
Columbia.
A pre-med student from
Fallbrook, Calif., who is majoring in mathematics, Pierce
maintains an above 4.0 grade-point average. She has spent
summers conducting research in the University's chemistry
department as well as for the National Security Agency in
Washington, D.C. She is tutoring as a peer instructor in
mathematics and chemistry. She is co-concertmaster of the
Princeton University Orchestra. She is writing a play and
organizing a five-day art camp for children this summer. She
is working as a nurse assistant at the McCosh Health Center.
And she just took up kung fu.
