Music

Hometown: Jackson, Missouri

Major/Minor: Musical Theatre

Favorite Place to Study: Curled up in a comfy chair

Early Riser or Night Owl: I cannot be held accountable for anything I say or do after 11:30PM. I can be that annoyingly peppy person in the morning. Early Riser all the way.

The most interesting class I've taken... is General Psychology. Learning how people think and function was intriguing, and I started to understand why people do what they do.

I enjoy being a tutor because... when I get enthusiastic about a topic, I want other people to have the same enthusiasm. Passing along knowledge is the best way to do that.

Communications

Hometown: St. Peters, Missouri

Major/Minor: Communications major with minors in Journalism, Public Relations and Religion

Favorite Place to Study: in my room with a comfortable chair. By myself I can concentrate more clearly and minimal distractions are good, but a cup of coffee is a nice pairing.

Early Riser or Night Owl: I'm more of a night owl, but if there's coffee involved I'm okay with either!

My favorite classes... have been my journalism classes. It's a field that interests me and I love the different elements involved. I've learned the most in these classes - not just how to do well in the class, but outside of the classroom as well.

I enjoy being a tutor because... it is an opportunity to cenourage other students who are in the same boat I am. I like to share thinkgs I have learned to assist others and hopefully success is an outcome beacuse of it.
