Where is the next place you would like to travel?
The next place I would like to travel to is any Spanish speaking country!
Fortunately, I’m going to Mexico for Spring Break for a mission trip with my
church! I’m super excited because I am trying to become fluent in Spanish and
this will give me the opportunity to practice the language while serving Christ
by building houses for local citizen of Reynosa, Mexico! Traveling means a lot
to me, therefore I take any opportunity I can to visit a new place, meet new
people, and understand their culture. I am fascinated with Spanish language and
customs, and I can’t wait for the day that I get my own classroom of first or
second grade bilingual students!
Which historical figure would you most want to meet?
Without a doubt, I would definitely want to meet Mother Teresa. There are few
words gracious enough to describe such an inspiring and momentous woman. Her
dedication to faith, her acceptance of her doubts, and her never-ending
dedication to the Lord’s call compare to no other. She inspires me to find
something I am passionate about and to stop at nothing to help others. Her
selflessness and love for her brothers and sisters in Christ encourages me to
be more like her everyday.
What is your favorite memory from Spirits?
I have so many great memories in Spirits, but one of my favorites has to be
Initiation Dinner and Initiation Brunch! That was a point in the semester where
I could look around all the girls in my weenie class and realize that I truly
love each of them and that they accepted me for exactly who I am. I knew that
in just one semester I grew up a lot and became incredibly close to those who
had once been strangers. I’m so excited to spend the next few years with them
by my side! Fall Fourteen Forever!
