Congratulations to Leslie Quinalty, Spring 2008 Blogging for Progress Scholar.

  • Hometown: Seminole, OK
  • Current school: The University of Oklahoma- Boomer Sooner!
  • Academic Plans: to complete my Ph.D. in Biochemistry here at OU without giving up my personal life along the way.
  • Major: Biochemistry
  • Career goals: To someday open a research facility at my Native American tribe's health center.
  • Favorite Quote: "Success is not the result of spontaneous combustion. You must first set yourself on fire."- Fred Shero
  • Who inspires you to be a great person? I really can't think of a single person who inspires me to be great- I felt the desire to be a great person before the people who popped into my mind entered my life. I've been in situations where I've felt that the only thing pushing me to be a better person was myself (see above quote!).
  • What's your idea of Progress? Thinking logically, even when the result is an idea that conflicts with one's current view, and changing current approaches to problems in order to advance our society as a whole. I think progress is different to everyone, so it's really hard for me to define.
  • What's your favorite thing about ProgressiveU? Being able to interact and debate with people of all backgrounds and beliefs in a mature,friendly, challenging environment. It's nice to interact with people who are capable of challenging my views and aren't afraid to do so. ProgreessiveU is also a nice way to take a break from academic life while still learning something equally important. :)
