Growing up in Eastern Pennsylvania, Wawa stores have always been the go-to place for quick snacks, beverages, or hoagies. Personally, I never understood why Wawa was such a renowned place because I am a very picky eater, and the idea of creating a hoagie seemed very complex.

I relate to the BBQ sauce because while I may appear as just another student, when put in new environments, I bring new perspectives and light to the situation. At Pitt, I would not only bring my academic knowledge but also my humor, kindness, and out-of-the-box thoughts. BBQ sauce may be standard, but it and myself add new elements to wherever we are. While sharing attributes with a sandwich isn’t conventional, my Wawa sandwich and I are, essentially, one and the same. We both are made up of various characteristics and fundamentals.
