| One Word That Describes Rutgers |
 |
|
| One Cool Thing |
I used to travel the world with my mother, who is a chemical engineer. She worked for Colgate/Palmolive and Schering Plough. When she was sent to other countries like Puerto Rico to work on production of medicine and various solvents, she used to take me along, so by the time I was eight years old I'd been to England, France, Germany, Puerto Rico, and all over the U.S. It was so much fun and my dad and I always put together a scrapbook, and I brought it in to school for my class to read and look at. |

| Rutgers Reflects the World |
I'm
Polish, Irish, German, English, and Scottish.
I'm everything. That's why I chose Rutgers-Newark.
I feel so at home with any group of students because
most of us see each other as just some kids going
to school together, not as kids of some other
culture who happen to go to the same school. My friends
and classmates are Haitian, Italian, Filipino, Chinese,
Polish, Spanish, Indian, and everything in between,
but we relate to each other as friends and equals
in the struggle to make it in college, not as some
strange cultural grab-bag of kids all working separately
towards our own personal goals. To succeed, we know
that we need to work together. |
| Rutgers Experiences |
As a Scarlet Amdassador I've gotten to
meet a lot of interesting people, including Cecelia,
a fascinating woman who was the Dean of
Admissions and then Dean of Student Affairs for over
twenty years at Rutgers-Newark. |
| Internships |
None
to date, but I hope to get one with Rite Aid next
year as I already work in one of their pharmacies. |
| Rutgers Traditions |
Every
Halloween the admissions office has a Halloween party
and a costume contest. Also, I have three traditions
of my own, made with my friends at the admissions
office: first, whenever there is a band or DJ
playing music in the plaza, you have to
stop whatever you're doing and dance at least a few
steps; second, you have to eat lunch at Stonesby Commons
at least once a month and you have to put lots of
whipped cream on your desert no matter what it is;
and third, at least two Open Houses a year, two
of my Scarlet Ambassador friends, Maria and Jen, and
I have a sleep-over the night before in the dorms
and stay up late watching movies. We then roll out
of bed for the Open House the next morning and walk
across the campus in the dewy morning to start setting
up before the prospective students come. |

| Why Rutgers? |
It just fit. I went on tours of all the possible schools that offered my major, which was not too many in this area, and picked the one that felt the most comfortable when I visited, and I visited the campus three more times to make sure I really liked it. The thing that always appealed to me was that there were so many different types of people here, with different religious and cultural backgrounds, and they were all smiling and having fun together, not in their own separate groups. |

i have a very eclectic range of music, form movie and musical soundtracks to the latest hip-hop and pop hits and everything in between. Right now I'm listening to the soundtrack from "City of Angels," one of my favorite movies. In my car is the original London cast recording of the musical, "The Phantom of the Opera." I also have CDs of Ella Fitzgerald, the Beatles, the Backstreet Boys, N'SYNC, Enrique Inglesias, Ricky Martin, La Bouche, Mozart, Beethoven, George Winston (a wonderful modern pianist), Enya, and tons of soundracks (Cabaret, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Oliver, Annie Get Your Gun, Gospell, Scarlet Pimpernel, Les Miserables, 1766, Titanic, Sound of Music, The King and I, etc.). i listen to the radio to get the latest hits, but they're often overplayed, so I do the CD thing mostly.
