Name: Jen Nguyen
Year: Sophomore

On her iPhone case: My coworker got it for me when she went to China. I really like it because it’s weird and different. People always ask me if I can use to take actual pictures by pushing the buttons– I wish it could!
 
Getting personal: My grandma is really religious and gave me this card before I left for college. It was originally a Vietnamese prayer card and she taped on a picture that she took herself of communion bread with a ring of light around it. She gave it to me as a symbol of protection while I’m in college and I keep it tucked in my wallet.
 
On her health-related background: I got the first aid kit while volunteering at Scripps Memorial Hospital in San Diego when I was in high school. I tend to carry it round because I’m a bit of a klutz. I also got CPR certified in 2010 when I started my internship at Hoag Hospital as a Clinical Care Extender. I talk to a lot of patients and help them with simple tasks like bathing and giving out comfort care. Luckily, I haven’t had to perform CPR!
