UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH

I find that frequently in my life "right place, right time" things happen to me. At the University of Pittsburgh, I was hired as a campus tour guide my freshman year - a "Student Ambassador," if you will - a job I held all 4.5 years in school. By my junior year, however, I had a spell of time where I was "tired of it." I held on, since it was a fun job, and I was never one to quit. About the time I was debating between the perks of having the job and the feelings of freedom I would have if I quit, an eye-catching email came across the group's distribution list... I "officially" began my relationship with writing in college. When I started out as a freshman at the University of Pittsburgh, I had no idea what I wanted to do. I knew that I had really enjoyed Spanish and Chemistry in high school, so at the suggestion of my college advisor, I took a course in each. I also had my first college English course that first semester... Spanish went well - I still enjoyed it but had no idea what..
