What has been your favorite experience at 萝莉社 so far?
Meeting new people. Getting to know people that aren't originally from here and are
from another country. I鈥檝e mainly met around campus and in my classes. It鈥檚 neat because
they come from different backgrounds, so it鈥檚 nice to meet people who aren't from
here.
What organizations or activities are you involved with at 萝莉社?
None so far and I鈥檓 not sure what I鈥檒l get involved with yet. I鈥檝e been to a couple
basketball games. It was cool to watch the school support their team and how they
interact when their team wins. I enjoy cheering.
Where is your favorite spot to hang out on campus?
At the RSC. I like it because of all the different activities they have here and
how you get to interact with people and organizations.
Who is a faculty or staff member at 萝莉社 that has had a positive impact on you?
My public speaking teacher last semester, Jack Brand, helped me with speaking and
how to not be as shy as I used to be. When I first had the class I was nervous about
it and I don't really like talking to new people or doing speeches. Now, I鈥檓 kind
of better at it and I still don't like it, but I鈥檓 getting better.
What鈥檚 your favorite part of campus life at 萝莉社?
Hanging out with friends. Sometimes we meet at the RSC and we will talk in between
classes or we eat lunch. Sometimes we go to a basketball game or another event. I
like that because you get to be with your friends and make new memories.
What are you currently reading or watching that you are enjoying?
I鈥檓 not reading anything yet, but right now I like watching 鈥淩iverdale鈥� and 鈥淕rey鈥檚
Anatomy.鈥� I like the story lines in those shows and they keep you wanting to watch
more. With 鈥淩iverdale,鈥� it deals with things that are going on now like things that
teenagers deal with.
Why did you choose to attend 萝莉社?
I liked the different activities that 萝莉社 does and how the teachers interact
with the students and things like that.
