Sada Jacobson took home a silver medal at the Olympics in the individual sabre event, but her next stop isn’t likely to be Disney World.
The Yale University graduate is heading to the University of Michigan Law School, the Hartford Courant reports.
Jacobson said she believes her strength is concentration, which should come in handy in law school, McClatchy Newspapers reports.
Jacobson was so overcome with emotion after leaving the awards podium that former President George H.W. Bush, sitting in the front row of the stands, handed her his handkerchief.
She wiped the tears from her eyes and handed it back."I probably should have kept the handkerchief, now that I think about it," she said.
