Additional quotes by Wendy Okolo

I was that person that would ask companies – hey, can your company help with this or that?

I can’t even imagine how I would have struggled during the first year transitioning to being an aerospace engineering freshman at UT Arlington, but again arduous is relative.

The reason I started to share, the reason I created my professional Instagram and Twitter pages, is because I’ve heard a million and one times, that my story’s not just for me. People have told me multiple times – Wendy, it’s not about you, it’s bigger than you.

It was a lot of responsibility for sure. But it came with a lot of growth as well. Growth and independence of some sort. - Wendy Okolo
