你为什么选择澳门新葡京娱乐城网址? I chose 道尔顿状态 because of its affordability and because of its close proximity to home. 这不是我的第一选择, but as I got involved on campus and began seeing the support from the faculty and staff, 现在我无法想象要转到别的地方.
毕业后你打算做什么? 从澳门新葡京娱乐城网址毕业后, my goal is to pursue a master’s degree in English or communications. I also want to pursue a teaching career in either a middle or high school because I want to make a difference in the lives of students as some of my teachers and professors have made a difference in mine.
你最喜欢的教授是谁，为什么? Although I have many great professors, I believe my favorite professor is Dr. Ken Ellinger because he noticed the potential in me before I even saw it in myself. 他真诚地关心他的学生, 尤其是那些渴望成功的人, even if they are not necessarily the smartest person in the classroom. 虽然他的课很难, I learned a significant amount about the material and gained confidence as a student through his encouragement.
你在校园里参加了什么活动? I am involved in the Roadrunner Student Ambassador program as well as the Peer Mentor program. The ambassador program has helped me further develop communication and leadership skills. I went into the program looking to challenge myself because I knew giving tours would push me out of my comfort zone. 然而，我学到了比沟通更多的东西. I have gained confidence and I have learned what true leadership is through the other ambassadors. I have pursued a position as a peer mentor because I want to continue to push myself in order to strengthen skills that will be essential when seeking future employment and in everyday life. I have also been on the homecoming court and went on the Alternative Spring Break trip to New Orleans.
What are some of your biggest achievements or accomplishments at 道尔顿状态? Being a student at 道尔顿状态 is an achievement for me in itself, considering I have always thought college was too expensive and an unattainable goal. 然而, 澳门新葡京娱乐城网址的学费给了我希望和机会, 是什么让我扩大了我的目标. 我已经上了院长的名单, 获得两次学术学人奖, 三个奖学金, and had the opportunity to present at a student scholarship showcase as a sophomore. All of these opportunities would not be possible without the professors and experiences I have had here at 道尔顿状态.
What is your best memory so far as part of the 走鹃国家? My best memory being a part of 走鹃国家 is the Alternative Spring Break trip to New Orleans, 路易斯安那州. I loved being able to volunteer, hear the locals stories, and learn about the culture. 我还结交了朋友，获得了新的视角.
你最近读的一本书是什么? 唐·德里罗的 白噪声
最喜欢的安慰食物? 我最喜欢的安慰食物是奶酪通心粉和鸡肉.
你的罪恶快感是什么? My guilty pleasure is either getting my nails done or yogurt covered pretzels. 他们的满意度几乎是一样的.
If you could only keep five possessions, what would they be? 如果我只能保留五件财产, 我会留着我的手机, 一个排球, 我的狗, 我的床上, 还有我的大安慰器.
如果你中了彩票，你会做什么? 如果我能中彩票, I would definitely invest the money in a way to help others who are in need or who have also felt like college is unattainable. 然而, I would definitely finish my time at 道尔顿状态 and earn a college degree because it is something I have worked for and want to say that I have earned. I also would also save a significant amount of the money for when I finish college.
你想学习的技能是什么?为什么? I would love to learn kickboxing because I feel like it would be really fun and beneficial since I am so small!
什么使你高兴?? Food is the best way to cheer me up, especially Mexican food or ice cream!
谁是你的英雄? 我的英雄是我的爸爸. He serves as an inspiration to me because he works so hard to provide for myself and our family. He has been my biggest fan and always encourages me to do what is best, even if it is the hardest.
你最喜欢去哪里吃饭? 我喜欢食物，所以这是个很难回答的问题. 然而, I think Amigos in East Ridge is definitely my favorite!
当你还是个孩子的时候，你想成为什么? 小时候，我从事过各种职业. 我这一周想当医生，下一周想当律师.
What does it mean to you to be part of the 走鹃国家? Being a part of 走鹃国家 means that I am not “just another face” on campus. I feel like I actually have a role and that I have received so many opportunities that I would never experience at a larger school, 比如在返校节的球场上. Being a part of 走鹃国家 has boosted my confidence as a student and is helping me further develop into the person I want to become one semester at a time.
