About (request update)

I am 2 1years old and currently working on my Master's Degree in Criminology. I am looking forward to graduating and getting a job in my field. I am looking for summer positions, internships or other opportunities that are out there.

My Interview Question

What type of activities and organizations were you in during college?

Current Whereabouts:

Currently I reside on the University of Maryland Eastern Shore Campus. I live in one of the student apartments. Other than fall and spring semester I live with my family in Columbia Maryland.

Life & Professional Aspirations:

One day I hope to be able to help prisoners being released from prison.

Education (request update)

University of Maryland Eastern Shore class of 2008

Undergrad Major: Criminal Justice

Claim To Fame:

I believe that my claim to fame would have to be the role of the overachiever. I love digging my hands into whatever I do to help out. Whether it be helping a friend with an essay, dance practice, studying, church, helping out at home, babysitting, painting which I can't get enough of or so many other things. Sometimes I think I take on too much, but I believe that I am a responsible and very organized individual. I always complete all of my tasks and I never do anything that I can't put 100% effort into. Anything that has my name on it, you can bet it will be the best that I can possibly do.

Most Memorable Moment:

I would have to say that my most memorable college moment so far is the very first day of orientation. All of the new students were brought into the auditorium and they were telling us about the campus. They said to look to the left and to look to the right. They said "Half of those students will not be here on graduation day". That really hit me hard and from there I was determined to be one of the students who made it.
