She chose Macon State College because … “It’s so convenient and a great bargain. It’s a plus that many of my friends are here as well.”

The one thing that surprised her about Macon State was … “How much it is growing. Many students here probably don’t even realize what all Macon State can offer.”

Her favorite professor is … “That would have to be Dr. Patrick Brennan! He offers one of the coolest classes I have ever taken, the perspective course on film! It was a great class and overall very interesting! You get to watch movies in class and talk about them. How cool is that!”

Her favorite place to study is … “The group study rooms upstairs in the Library.”

One thing people don’t know about her is … “I can speak Thai. My mom is from Thailand and she taught me and my sisters the language.”

Her friends make fun of her because … “I have the tendency to get really jumpy after watching scary movies. Even during scary movies I’ll shut my eyes or jump during a scary part.”

The one person she’d most like to meet is … “This is a toughie. I suppose I would like to meet God. I would have a ton of questions for him.”

Five years from now she sees herself … “This is a hard question, too. There are so many things I want to pursue and try and so many places I want to go.”
