Sarah Gray is a senior, double majoring in mathematics and physics.  Physics has always been interesting to her, but it wasn't required in her high school and wasn't even offered every semester.  She did take her first physics course during her senior year in high school and that is when she decided to minor in it.  Sarah thanks Dr. Leilabady and Nic Scott, because during her sophomore year in college here at UNCC, they convinced her to become a double major.  Sarah is from Lincolnton, NC and tied for the youngest of 4 with her identical twin sister.  She likes to be involved at school and in her home life.  She loves animals and kids.  She tells us, "The reason I love physics so much is because it brings answers, it helps me understand everything in the world and universe around me."
