Why Did You Attend SJSU?

 

I came to SJSU the summer between my junior and senior year in high school to check out colleges.  On the tour I went on with Devika, she talked about the statues.  Not only was it a nice campus located in the center of the city, but it was a place where taking a stand and fighting for what you believe in was appreciated and encouraged.

 

What Is Your Favorite Class At SJSU?

 

My favorite class was my MUSE class my freshmen year.  It was Play & Creativity.  My teacher was a lot of fun, and the class was so small, it got really close.  We made life maps and analyzed what makes us creative.

 

Who Is Your Favorite Professor At SJSU?

 

Linda Levine.  She was funny, provided a lot of feedback on our essays and cared about each individual in her class.

 

What Are The Highlights of Your SJSU Experience?

 

I entered Ms. Spartan, which was a really good experience.  I met a lot of amazing people and got to get the environment involved with the fight against campus.  I loved living in the dorms.  I met so many new people and really immersed myself in the college experience.

 

Who Is Your Hero, Idol or Mentor?

 

My mom is my idol.  She has been through so much and is still so positive and helpful.  She uses what has set her back to bring others forward.  I can tell her anything and she will always be there to listen and support me.

 

What Are Your Plans For The Future?

 

Well, I plan to study abroad.  I really would like to go to Spain to study Spanish.  I want to live in New York City for a year or two after college, just like Sex and the City.  I want to find love and labels.  I plan to use my degree in Social Work to train and monitor foster parents.  I want to travel and I would like to one day have a family.
