It’s a very romantic story, and the differential is interesting—budding physician and marine. That last sentence of the first paragraph is a doozy and could use a rewrite—either break it up, or try to reword without so many of the word ‘for’.
Minor point, if she’s getting her medical degree she’s not in “college” but “med school”. Or you just switch it to getting her pre-med degree. But I’m quibbling.
