That seems to be the only direction Javeria Farooqi can go, at least metaphorically. Farooqi, an MBA graduate student and president of the MBA Association, has been the recipient of many honors this semester. On May 11th, she became one of the newest honorees of the Texas Business Hall of Fame scholarship. The award comes with $10,000.

"I was doing what I love doing and in the process I was honored with such great awards. I believe when you sincerely love what your doing it just comes naturally. My goal is not to win awards. My goal is to continuously gain and share knowledge and that is a never ending goal and if while doing that I win awards then that's just the cherry on top of it all."

The Texas Business Hall of Fame scholarship is awarded to only 15 students who have demonstrated academic excellence and leadership, and have a propensity for entrepreneurial achievement.
