WHY YOU CHOSE ROOSEVELT:

Because I thought the location of the school would be most beneficial to me as it pertains to my major. Also because of the school’s mission in social justice and how that mission is emphasized in classes

MAJOR/MINOR:

Political Science with minors in Sociology and Writing

WHY YOU CHOSE THIS MAJOR/MINOR:

I believe that politics shapes the way the world works and is responsible for the lives of not only constituents, but people all around the world. Thus, the easiest way to make change is to immerse yourself in the political world.

DREAM JOB AND WHY:

My dream job is to be a CNN commentator because I’ll get paid for going on television and talking about my opinion regarding current events, legislation, etc.

EXTRACURRICULARS (CLUBS, ORGS, JOBS, INTERNSHIPS, VOLUNTEER WORK, ETC.):

Currently, I’m a student ambassador in the Office of Admission.

FAVORITE COURSE TAKEN AT ROOSEVELT AND WHY:

So far, my favorite course I’ve taken at Roosevelt was a class on Contemporary Urban Issues. In the class I was able to learn about a lot about urban inequality and how there’s systems in place to oppress lower-income communities. The class helped me shape my outlook on life, and has inspired me to want to base my future career around urban development.

PEOPLE WOULD BE SURPRISED TO KNOW THAT… :

My favorite book genre is fantasy.

FAVORITE SPOT AT ROOSEVELT:
