Perfect '10- Cristine

So the first part of my freshman year went fairly well. Made some new friends, joined a club here or there. But for some reason, I just felt like there was something missing in my college experience. This weekend filled that void completely. I was told to go on the Freshman Leadership Development Retreat by a Fish Camp counselor and good friend, so I figured I might as well give it a try; it’s always nice to get away for the weekend. Little did I know that I was going to have one of my best weekends I’ve had this entire school year. I finally met those “random” friends that I just clicked with. We did karaoke and had dance parties that would put anything else to shame. And then Bobby Tucker spoke. Now, if you’ve ever met Bobby Tucker, or even heard of Bobby Tucker, you know what I’m talking about when I say it was life-changing. Never before did I feel so proud to be an Aggie, and never more than that night did I realize my true duty to uphold the Aggie spirit and traditions. All the games of Catch Phrase, pajama parties and inside jokes took a turn on the backburner of my brain and all that I could think of was how special this place really is; I think that’s something we let slip out of our minds sometimes. But we really shouldn’t. There is no other school like Texas A&M. And I, for one, am proud to call myself an Aggie, and I will do whatever I can to serve this school for everything it has, and will do for me.
