Meet Allison Shockley ’20

HC: Name? 

AS: Allison Shockley

HC: Class Year?

AS: 2020

HC: Hometown? 

AS: Wichita, Kansas

HC: What are you involved in at F&M? 

AS: Writing Center tutor; Alumni Arts Review board editor; Spanish tutor; Spanish Honors Society; MUS (music honor society)

HC: What is your favorite memory at F&M? 

AS: I think my favorite memories are the casual moments with friends that don’t seem to stand out at the time but rather add up to a bigger picture of just having people there for you when you need it. Whether it’s getting brunch together, or marching together, or doing yoga, doing homework…if it’s together with people I care about, that’s my favorite memory.

HC: Favorite place to eat in Lancaster? 

AS: Central Market; it just has so many options!

HC: Favorite place on campus? 

AS: The Writing Center

HC: What inspires you? 

AS: I find my inspiration in different little things every day, but right now, what’s inspiring me the most is my mom. She has a bit of a rough journey to get where she is, but she’s always managed the challenges with flexibility and grace. She’s someone that I can look up to for her inner beauty and strength.

HC: If you could do anything what would you do? 

AS: I would travel the world, hearing people’s stories and letting them share their knowledge with me.

HC: An interesting fact about you? 

AS: I’m set to inherit a farm with about a hundred animals, from a duck that wags his tail because he thinks he’s a dog to lovebird sugar gliders names Bonnie and Clyde, opossums, goats, rabbits, chickens, turkeys, peacocks…it’s a mad house.

HC: Ben or John? (and why) 

AS: Honestly, they’re both terrifying. Sorry.

Sandra is an LA native studying Creative Writing at Franklin and Marshall College. When not reading for class, you can find her laughing at memes. She would like to say she enjoys long walks on the beach, but she hasn't taken enough to claim it as a hobby. When asked to describe herself, she will tell you she's a cloud pretending to be human. It's okay if the cloud thing is confusing. She doesn't really get it either.
