I watched the nurses care for him and learned how great it is relating with a patient.

Columbia. This school fits better and offers me more than Brown could offer.” Holloway plans to work in the pharmaceutical field (eventually earning his PhD). He chose chemical engineering, he said, because he is “interested in taking things apart at the molecular level. You can form something Travis Holloway revolutionary and new. In my four years of high school, I have found something that challenges me.” Holloway is the president of North High’s Interact Club, in the Photo Club, Wildlife Club, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Spanish Club, and Maya Club and is also in CSF and the Spanish Honor Society. Holloway will be a firstgeneration college student and said that he looks up to both of his parents for supporting him and challenging him to go to greater heights. When asked to reveal something unique about himself, Holloway confessed, “I really like Nat King Cole.”
