Editing Brahnamin's Characters - Star Trek (section)

==Starfleet Academy==
In the Academy, Terra was exposed to more cultures, races, philosophies, and perspectives than she grew up with. It was a time of growth and learning, and she soaked it up like a sponge. She regularly encountered Vulcans among the faculty and among her peers, but for all she identified with Vulcan thought and philosophy, she had very little success adopting an appropriately Vulcan persona. 

Though she spent most of her first year trying.

In the end it was her study of medicine, particularly her specialized studies of xenobiology and cybernetics, that led her to accept herself more as a unique individual than a predefined subset of genetic expectations.

That's how her Vulcan brain liked to say it.

Her human side preferred to laugh about it over a liter of beer.
