HomeFeaturesFeatures › Meet Four Xavier College Prep Seniors - Page 7

What college will you be attending and why?
I’m not sure where exactly I’m going yet, but I know I am heading down South. I was ready for country music, fried chicken, and cute accents, so I made sure to apply to schools in that area.

What do you want to be when you grow up?
I hope to be a news anchor. Specifically, I want to do the morning news. Ann Curry better watch out because I want her job.

Are you going to join a sorority or a club in college?
I definitely want to rush in college. I also want to join the newspaper and do club running. I think it is very important to be involved and make the most of my experience.

If you could change one thing in the world what would it be?
About 3.5 million people in America live in poverty. I think it is part of our duty as human beings and Americans to help those people. I wish I could make sure that no person goes to bed without a home or hungry at night.

What is your favorite place to shop?
Definitely Saks and J.Crew

Favorite clothing brand?
I love Rebecca Taylor’s girly dresses and blouses. I am also obsessed with Ralph Lauren and Chloe. If only I could afford their clothes!

What kind of music is in your iTunes right now?
A whole lot of Dierks Bentley, Lady Antebellum, Tim McGraw, and Keith Urban. Plus, some classic rock, alternative, and rap. I’m a little all over the place with music.

iPhone or Blackberry?
I have a Blackberry, but now that Verizon is getting the iPhone I may have to switch.

What is your favorite family vacation that you've taken in the last four years?
My mom and I worked for Habitat for Humanity in Charleston, South Carolina. Charleston is literally the most beautiful place in the world. I plan on moving there after college!

Where are you going to have your graduation celebration?
As long as there are fish tacos and guacamole I do not care where we go!

What is your favorite section on AZFoothills.com?
The “Style” section. I like to read up on the latest trends.

Who do you want to thank for supporting you this far in life?
My parents are amazing. They give me nothing but support and have been there for me in every aspect of my life. My little sister is my best friend. Though we fight sometimes she is always there for me and is the person I talk to most.

What will you miss the most about Xavier?
I will miss being able to show up to school looking like a wild banshee, that’s for sure! What I will truly miss, though, is being able to see my best friends every day.

How do you feel about everyone wearing the same uniforms at Xavier?
Uniforms are a lifesaver. I am dreading the day when I have to dress myself every morning.

If you were a car what kind of car would you be and why?
An old Chevy truck. All-American, reliable, with a whole lot of character.

Where is the best place to hang with BFFs?
For Emma, Lexie, Kim, and I there is nothing better than a 2 am run to IHOP. Who doesn’t love chocolate chip pancakes and their best friends early in the morning?
