Even though we were in the same graduating class and shared the same major, we didn’t meet until our final semester of college. Caught up in the whirlwind of our busy pre-med lives, our paths might never have crossed—if not for Dr. Alvarez’s in-class group assignments in Cell Biology. The assignments were designed to help students mingle and connect, but Nadia wasn’t convinced that a group project could lead to anything meaningful—let alone someone special. That all changed one Friday in April, when fate (and Dr. Alvarez) placed us in the same group. Almost immediately, we realized how much we had in common—shared dreams, a similar sense of humor, and a natural ease around each other. Though we only chatted a few more times amidst the chaos of finals and graduation, something undeniable had sparked between us. Then, on graduation day, Sam took his final chance to make a move. He asked Nadia to take a few pictures with him, a tender moment that unfolded into their love story. And the rest, as they say, is history.
