Favorite Stanford Memory: "It was on the way home from the airport on the bus after we won MPSF's, when out of nowhere the entire team began singing. We ranged from Disney songs to old school pop. Susan could barely stop laughing the whole time, probably since no one on the team can sing, yet we are yelling at the top of our lungs `a whole new world, a new fantastic point of view...'. We have never had so much fun singing off-key with the entire team. It was amazing!"
