Senior Spotlight: From Pre-Law to Pre-Med |
Kristal Salvador’s senior year brought unexpected clarity and a brand-new dream.
The Windmill Lakes–Orem HS senior originally planned to pursue law — but after a meaningful personal experience and involvement in HOSA, Kristal discovered her passion for medicine. From JROTC to Model UN and a life-changing trip to Taiwan, her journey at ILTexas has prepared her for the next chapter: pre-med at the University of Houston.
