"It's up to me ... to help those in our communities and help revitalize those communities. That's why I'm going back home."

"I've been able to take away so much ... here. I've been able to match up well with those who have graduated from Ivy League schools."

"I'm really excited. I want to work in a rural population, specifically here in West Virginia."

"I called my mom and said, 'I'm going to school here.' And it was the best decision of my life."

"The community I have here and the deep relationships are so precious; it's honestly heartbreaking that I have to leave that."

"It's difficult to pinpoint an experience that was more special than another because each day brought different people from all walks of life."
