I first met Adria during the summer of my sophmore year in highschool when I participated in an exchange student program called FIC (Foundation for International Cooperation).  Adria and I both went to live with families in Quito, Ecuador for the summer.  Never loosing her spirit of adventure, she took a year off before starting college to spend a year in Germany, and most of the rest of Europe, as an exchange student.  She is one of the kindest souls I have ever met and is always ready for a laugh or adventure...and especially a snack! She can eat anyone under the table any day!

   
 
 

Adrienne

I first met Adrienne in my freshman year of highschool. We shared only one class: Phys. Ed. Along with our friend Meagan, I quickly learned how not to participate in the many stupid activities we had to do (including jumping over the vollyball net, pretending it was an electric fence). The area where we stood soon became known as the "Bermuda Triangle" - if the ball entered our domain you would never see it again.  She is quite a character with her inique style, flair for life, and amazing talent in art, theatre and song. She is always there whenever needed, even if it takes a posse to hunt her down and find her!

Allie is my 12 year old west highland white terrier. Even as old as she is, she is still just as curious, playful and mischeivous as she was in her puppy years...and even cuter!

  
 

Newt is my wonderfully talented sister. While we haven't always gotten along, she is always there for me when I need someone to listen.

Paulina

I met Paulina in my freshman year in highschool in art class.  She had only lived in the USA for about a year and had only known the English language that long as well. She has a ferocious approach to life and is always there for her friends, bringing her spartan-like fervor and twisted humor along for the ride.
