first degree, but then i would like to receive a masters in counselor education.
During my first year at Sac State I joined Delta Gamma, a sorority, and have continued to
stay involved around the community. Currently I work as a tour guide at CSUS.
I give tours and motivational speeched on the importance of attending college to high
school students.
Friends: My closest friends were Allison, Keia, Larishia, Holly, Katie, Kim, and Chad. I
still talk to Chad, Katie, and Holly often. Kim is very busy, but when she is in
town we usually meet for lunch to catch up on all the gossip.
Hobbies: I like to go out with my friends and go dancing. I am also on my computer
quite often.
Kids: I do not have any kids yet and I do not plan on having any for at least another five
years.
Grade_school: Greer
Grade_school_friends: Randy Gray and Shabnam Chand
Junior_high: Jonas Salk
Junior_high_friends: Too many to mention.
Memorable_teachers: There were a lot of memorable teachers for me (maybe that is why I was
nominated teachers pet). I would say that Mr. Luchini, Mrs. Johnson, Mr. Brodnansky,
Mr. Sasse, Coach Hibbard, and Mr. Soto. Mrs. Motter was a counselor but she
was also very important to me. These people all taught me how to be real and also
were more like friends than teachers.
Favorite_memory: The basketball team making it to playoffs my senior year and getting to
cheer at The Pond in L.A.
Alumni_in_contact: Randy Gray, Mindy and Marie Aguire, Holly Harris, Rudy and Robert
Deporto, Kritter, Damon Pohill, David Winston, Chad Crall, Kim Thompson, Tasha Elliot,
