Tucker is excited about the next step in her future. “As I have been finishing up my applications, I’ve had to recollect on the classes, awards, work, and extracurricular activities that I’ve completed in preparation for vet school. It makes me realize that my undergraduate career has flown by, but now I am at the point that I’ve looked forward to for so long. It’s the point where all of my long hours at school, time spent stressing about grades and studying for tests, and occasional sacrifices of my social life are going to pay off, and it’s made me feel truly accomplished and proud of myself. I can’t wait to get started on the next step of my life.” Tucker is the daughter of Joe and Delaine Tucker. Delaine is also a Mount Olive College graduate. 13 | TODAY | FALL 2012
