Interview by: John Robinson
From what you can usually see, wearing her daily soccer gear, she obviously plays for the Frostburg women’s soccer team; the most improved player recipient as a matter of fact. Which means she must be active and hardworking? But if you take the time to sit down and get to know her, you would find out just how goal oriented and kind hearted she is. The 19 year-old junior from Gaithersburg, MD wasn’t originally going to attend Frostburg, because it didn’t appeal to her. The only reason she came here was because she described the Frostburg soccer coach as being, “very convincing.” When she began her freshman year she decided to be an Early Childhood Education major from the simple fact of her love for kids. As the weeks went on she noticed that she didn’t feel that spark of excitement you get when you’re doing something you love; so she thought of changing her major. As she contemplated other majors she thought to herself, “What else can I do with myself?” Then she realized her interest in the Food Network and her love for traveling. She wondered if she could combine writing with traveling, and she decided upon her major: English with a minor in International Studies.
What really finalized her major decision was what she calls her irritation at American ignorance of what’s going on in the world. She felt if she could visit these places where children are starving, wars are occurring, and the beauty of architecture stand tall, she could bring what she calls the average-ignorant and selfish American into a whole new line of sight of the world around them. As I listened to her love and admiration for her dream, I asked her, who is the one person who made the greatest impact on your life? She said her late grandfather, who was a World War II veteran at the age of 20, was her biggest inspiration. His mindset to be hardworking, patient, and very knowledgeable helped mold her into the young woman she is today. If you ever watch her play you see her talent, but if you look from a different perspective she is following her dream to reach her goal to help others.
