Social relations and policy in James Madison (College) with a teaching certificate.

Wings Over East Lansing or Menna’s (Joint).

10. If you could be any inanimate object, what would you be and why?
I would have to be a chair because it’s very helpful to people. Because after those long days of work, just sitting up or walking around campus, a chair comforts people.

Yes, that’s why I treat everybody with respect. I believe what goes around comes around. If you’re nice to me, I’ll be nice to you.

Case (Hall) has these quesadillas that we have every day, chicken and cheese.

This summer I look forward to hopefully getting a summer job and the summer sports camp job. … I’m not going home.
14. What has been the most important event in your life?
Probably coming to MSU. Honestly, if I didn’t come to MSU, I don’t know where I would have been. … I’ve met some great people. … I’m in a family. I think MSU is the best decision I’ve made so far.
15. If you could use one word to describe yourself, what would it be?
Charismatic. I’m just such a warm person. … I just make everyone feel well, feel good about themselves. I like people to be happy.
