WinnerBio
Hi, my name is Brandon. I am currently a Freshman at Sam Houston State University majoring in Finance. I'm a childhood cancer survivor and liver transplant recipient. My diagnosis was Stage III Hepatoblastoma. My life has had many ups and down due to my medical history but I don't let that bring me down!
I had a 25% survival rate at diagnosis and now I am on par to be on the Deans list. I also have a twin brother! We are both going to Sam Houston and even dorming together this year.
My dream is to get my degree in finance with emphasis in non-profit management so I can launch my own start-up someday to help children and families thru their cancer and or transplant struggles. The sky is the limit, but getting an education will really help me make this dream possible.
