“It was such an honor to be invited to the White House as a representative of higher education students across the United States,” McDonald told Smith County Insider. “I was able to hear from some of the most influential leaders in our country and discuss the current challenges that face our education system. It is inspiring to see so many people dedicated to ensuring our safe return to school this fall. I’m incredibly thankful for the opportunities God has given me in the past four years and I’m so proud to be a Blue Raider!”
