Memorable Quote: \\u201c And the way that my mentor phrased, it was that even if I don\'t get it [Goldwater Scholarship], I\'m going to learn a lot in the process. And it might even be better if I don\'t get it initially, because then I will get feedback from the committee and from my mentors on how I can improve and be an even stronger applicant in the future.\\u201d Kaitlyn Hung.
