Dr. Joshua O. Williams, a Meharry alumnus, was the first person to introduce me to Meharry Medical College.…

which college to attend because I had to leave my friends, family, and some of my belongings back home. When I was thinking about which college I wanted to attend, I was stuck between three choices: Missouri State University, University of Central Missouri, and Missouri Western State University.

In fact in the article Jeffery, a research professor of psychology at Clark University says that "There 's this negative stereotype we have about young adults, that getting financial help from their parents indicates a character deficiency on their part" (Akane Otani, 2015).
