The College App That Changed My Life

Technology was never a big part of my life.

Yes, I had a computer at home, and a Windows tablet for schoolwork. But I was never caught up with the latest apps or social media tools such as Facebook and Twitter.

When I enrolled at The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley to study biomedical sciences last year, I was pleasantly surprised that technology provided me with a tool that made me more passionate about the field, eager to learn and capable of exceeding my potential.

Unlike most college students in America, my classmates and I were told that we would be a test case for a degree program that requires absolutely no textbooks. The only course material we were given was an iPad.
