HC:What is your most embarrassing moment?
I had just moved to the United States and was somewhat fluent in English. I had a boyfriend at the time that was really sick with something but no one knew what it was. During lunch I was telling someone that they still hadn’t figured out what was wrong with him. My friend told me that it could be “cooties,” I got very concerned and asked if I could get infected and kept asking questions about it. After a good 15 minutes of my friends playing along and not telling me what it really was, they started cracking up. Someone finally told me that it was a made up “disease” that children use. I almost died of embarrassment.
HC:What is your favorite thing about UNCW?
I love UNCW. Everybody is super friendly and it’s a loving environment. I also like that the school is very small and everything is easy to find.
HC:When you graduate from UNCW, what will you miss the most?
I will miss my friends and the community the most. My church down here and Overflow will be greatly missed as well.
HC:What is your favorite quote?
Rejoice with your family in the beautiful land of life!- Albert Einstein
HC:What is your dream job?
My dream job would have something to do with fashion and lots and lots of traveling. I want to see the world–and someone paying for it would be pretty sweet.
HC:If you were stranded on an island and could only take three things, what would they be?
Josh Duhamel, Bible, gummy bears
HC: Describe your most awkward date with someone.
I think my most awkward date was when a guy tried to teach me how to drive a stick shift. The minute we drove out of the parking lot, I stalled and rolled into the car behind us. The guy I rolled into was furious and called the police. The officer was really nice about it and laughed. No one got a ticket and both cars were fine. However, most awkward date ever. Today, I have been driving a stick for two years and no accident yet.
