​
Where do I begin with Mary Rose? You'll never meet a kinder soul. Not to brag, but I kinda have the best roommate in the world. She is such a pure joy and light in the world. Three words I would use to describe Mary Rose are brilliant, authentic, and admirable. Mary Rose is a writer, the best I know. She writes for the Purdue Exponent, the podcast, her own personal testimonies and journals, and blows me away every time she writes. She's double majoring in Law and Society and Communications at Purdue and wants to go to Law school to become a lawyer one day. She strives to be loving and grateful everyday, despite any circumstances. Thank you for being you Mary Rose! we all love you.
