姐弟俩Nico和Lillian Woolsey从家乡怀俄明州的Rock Springs搬到犹他州后选择了韦伯州立大学，但他们各自选择了截然不同的教育和职业道路。

莉莲正在学习急救护理，准备成为一名护理人员。 2022年，她在一次雪橇事故中摔断了背部，当时她坐在救护车的后座上，做出了这个决定。

“I remember that moment, I was actually talking to the paramedic about his job and what school he went to,” she said. After recovery from spinal fusion surgery, Lillian decided to come to WSU in fall 2023, following in her brother’s footsteps.

Siblings Nico and Lillian Woolsey pose for a photo in the student union “Caring for people is on my mind a lot, and something I really want to do. My classes confirm that every day,” Lillian said. Now in her third semester, she’s learning more about the things she experienced as a patient, like implementing spinal boards.

Although she’s only three hours west of her hometown, Lillian loves her new home: “I’m happy every day in Utah,” she said, noting her love for hiking and traveling. 韦伯大学毕业后，她可能会考虑医学院。

Lillian’s older brother, Nico, came to WSU one year ahead of her after transferring from the University of Wyoming in Laramie, where he was on the cheer team. Now he’s majoring in mechanical engineering.

“I’ve always been a STEM-oriented person,” Nico said. “I love learning 新葡京app exploring the natural world.”

At 新葡京app State, Nico said he’s learning more about “how the universe interacts with itself. You learn these concepts and see their applications, and it opens doors to understanding things around you in everyday life.”

他说，他感谢华盛顿州立大学为学生提供的学术资源，尤其是经验丰富的教师。 He gave a shout-out to mathematics professor Timothy Steele for making Calculus II “the most fun math class” he’s ever taken.

Nico tackles 12–14 credits each semester and is focused on getting good grades while also working part time as a chef. 但他每周也会抽出时间在校园里和莉莉安吃两次午餐。

“I love being at 新葡京app State, and it’s nice to have one of my best friends here with me,” he said.

这对兄弟姐妹预计将于2027年一起毕业。
