Major: AYA Education Single Specialty in Physics                      

  1. I want my friends to describe me as: Funny and comfortable to be around. I like to entertain and be sarcastic, but I also hope my friends want to be around me.                                                                    
  2. Memorable learning experience: Over the summers I work with at risk inner city children in a summer camp setting. During my experiences their I learned more about myself and children in special circumstances than anywhere or anytime else in my life.
  3. My favorite subject at school and why:  Physics. It is what I hope to major in because I find the material and purpose so interesting. To me physics is something real and useful and understanding it gives me real insight into the world.
  4. Accomplishment I most cherish: Learning to play 7 different instruments fluidly.
  5. My work habits can best be described as:            Motivated and determined….but not until a certain point before it is due.                                                                                                    
  6. Three words that describe me best: Dry, witty, determined.
  7. People may be surprised to know:             I have traveled out of the country 5 times, including Australia and New Zealand.                                                                                                    
  8. What I hope to be doing in ten years: Teaching Physics at a high school or college level.
  9. What I do in my spare time: Practice music, fencing, or play a few games when I can.                                                                   
  10. Things I can do without: I suppose I would choose something already negative like cabbage, therefore I wouldn’t loose out on anything I enjoy. But then again, that seems to defeating the point of the question.
