Three words to describe yourself: honest, loyal, friendly
Kyle is from Macon, Georgia but was born in Atlanta. He like Macon because of the small city/big city aspects, but likes Athens better. Living in the residence halls and always being next to friends has been Kyle's favorite part about college, but he said that adjusting to the workload has been the most difficult aspect. He comments, "During the first week, I think I studied more that I had in all four years of high school." Kyle said that he has always "been good with computers," so naturally, he is studying computer science, but his dream job would be a video game designer. As a short term goal, Kyle would like to graduate and get a job, but for the long-term, Kyle is just "taking each day as it comes . . . you're less overwhelmed that way." He did throw in something about the "American Dream" with 2.5 children and a white picket fence. He is also color-blind and has been to 42 states so far. One trip was to Niagra Falls and back, and the other was to Oregon and then through the Grand Canyon. He also went inside the Twin Towers before 9/11.

Jay is from Suwanee, Georgia and moved there during the second grade from Atlanta.

As pre-business, Jay hopes to major in either accounting or management and would like to be a manager of a firm. Ever since he was little, Jay played soccer, and Liverpool is obviously his favorite team. Because Jay likes heights and mountains, a short-term goal he has is to go skydiving. Before coming to UGA, Jay did not go to concerts, but now, he enjoys going to shows such as Skrillex and Bassnectar. His parents originally moved to the U.S. from Japan because his dad wanted to travel during college, and his mom's dad got a job in the States.

Name: Hope
Three words to describe yourself: spontaneous, curious, light-hearted
Hope is from Griffin, Georgia, and during high school, she wanted to leave in order to "change it up and meet new people," but now, looking back, Hope says she appreciates the "smallness and the quirky things about Griffin." Until high school graduation, she danced jazz, modern, and ballet, but stopped when she got to college because she was"burned out on it," and "didn't want it to be a career." Now she is trying new things, like playing ultimate frisbee and said that she has never played a team sport before. She is majoring in anthropology because she is "passionate about people and culture" and would like to do something to help people in the future. She said, "I think it's important for people to encourage one another," but "it's important to do things for yourself and to play around a lot. I'm serious when it comes to playing." Hope says that she always wants to go on an adventure because she can not sit still and would like to eventually go on a mission trip. At the age of sixteen, Hope became a Christian, after she started to explore different religions and deeper thinking. Hope used to get in trouble for being the class clown, but then she began searching for more meaning in life. She said that making the transition was difficult because her brother was an atheist, but is now training to become a YoungLife leader in a high school or middle school. Hope started to talk about how she is attracted to the concept of suffering. She said, "I think it's the one feeling that people have in common the most. It's what brings people together. I think the reason people suffer is to be able to relate to one another. We have the opportunity to use our suffering in a positive way." She is also drawn to people who suffer from addictions and hopelessness, but does not know how to pursue this.

Three words to describe yourself: talkative, confusing, outgoing

One thing Lara definitely wants to do is make a lot of money while she is young. She used to play soccer in high school, but since the age of two, Lara has had arthritis, which has prevented her from playing the sport. She told me that doctors could not come up with an explanation for her case. As a random fact, Lara's grandparents came to Ellis island as refugees from Estonia during World War II because Estonia was being occupied by Russia. In high school, Lara took art classes for two years. At first, she said that she was bad at painting, but with time and practice, she now enjoys painting works similar to Jean-Michel Basquiat.

Lexi has a very good taste in music (well according to my standards!), and she was involved in show choir and chorus at her high school.

After her husband died in '75, Linda Rae worked at a recycling place "again, in an office," and in '75, she married Tom. They moved to Corpus Christi, Texas where she worked as a secretary for a psychiatrist. Afterwards, Linda Rae went back to school to take enough accounting classes to become a CPA, and she had twins in '81.

Tom was in the National Guard, so the family moved back to San Antonio, and in '86, they moved to New Orleans, Louisiana where Linda Rae worked at a television station until 1993. She comments, "I was in show-business!!...Well as an accountant."

In 1993, Linda Rae also got fired from her job. She said that a co-worker had unacceptable behavior and was obnoxious, and when she brought this up to her boss, he did not fire him, so she left. Afterwards, Linda Rae got an accounting job with the Louisiana military department. She stressed that "everything you've heard about Louisiana is true." From 1998-2000, she worked for a weekly newspaper as a reporter and typesetter, and when Tom retired from the National Guard, they moved back to San Antonio.

Linda Rae then became a receptionist for Holy Spirit Catholic Church until, 2006, when she was diagnosed with stage one breast cancer.At first, she said her diagnosis didn't bother her and that she stayed very calm. She said, "It took me two months to find out that this sort of thing is supposed to cause me grief." Since her diagnosis and treatment, Linda Rae has been cancer-free for five years, and now she "does good works and plays with friends." She also describes herself as a "voracious reader" reading "trashy fiction, murder mysteries, and thrillers," but avoiding romance novels. She also does volunteer work with a food pantry that also helps people pay for their rent and utilities, which is something her father did. In 2013, her husband, Tom,   is going to become a Deacon, so Linda Rae says she has to "learn how to become a Deacon's wife . . . which I think means you sit still and be quiet."

Before then he spent a few years living in Florida and other parts of Georgia, but he said these places have been the extent of his travels. In 1940, Dent saw Kennesaw for the first time, and said he "liked the small city," but now "it has been destroyed by political correctedness" and is "too overly industrialized." In 1971, he opened a Civil War Surplus shop in downtown Kennesaw that sells artifacts and all sorts of knick-knacks. He said that he "didn't know there had been a war" before he moved to Kennesaw, and at the beginning of his interests, Dent used metal detectors to find artifacts. He also told me that he played Stonewall Jackson in a movie, but I forgot what the movie was called. I asked what he finds most interesting about the Civil War, and he replied that it wasn't really a "Civil War." America was two different countries. Also, Dent said to be able to dig up history of the war out of the ground; "I'm still learning." Immediately, when you step into the store, you notice that Dent carries loaded pistols around his belt. I asked how many guns he owned, and his response was, "Personally? Or how many are in the store?" I also spoke to his co-worker about Dent, and she was very admirable of him. She said that Dent is very intelligent and he is always researching about new things that interest him. I would have liked to talk to him more, but I unfortunately had to leave. I highly recommend that if you're in the Kennesaw area, you should stop by the store! http://www.wildmans-shop.com/

She likes living in Louisiana, but when describing the people, Diamond says, "Their accents are ridiculous. I can't understand people sometimes."

Name: Brandon

Three words to describe yourself: free, alive, breathing

Right away Brandon tells me that he's "dishonest about being dishonest," so our whole interview could potentially be a lie, but I think it's mostly true. Brandon is from Atlanta, Georgia but he was raised in different areas. He is in a one-man-band recording all of the instruments. He has played bass since the age of four, drums since seven, guitar since twelve, and plays other instruments such as the mandolin and the banjo. Brandon is also interested in permaculture, or sustainable agriculture modeled on natural relationships. He said, "I believe we should live in the cycle where everything in nature gets used . . . We waste so much. It's not a spiritual way to live." In his life, Brandon would like to "promote people to follow their hearts." He said that he expresses his heart through music and hopes that in doing so, other people are also inspired to follow their hearts. Brandon said that the changing point is when he went hitchhiking and lived in a tent in Florida for a month. He said he was most happy when he had nothing. The book, Into the Wild, and the transcendentalist mindset inspired him to "experience life at its fullest." I asked if there was anything else Brandon would like to do in his life, and he replied, "Wherever the Universe takes me, I'll go." Here is his Facebook page where he has some songs listed: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Little-Raven-Appleseed/310771118963241?v=app_2405167945

Three words to describe yourself: nice, determined, friendly
Rebecca was born and raised in Kennesaw, Georgia, living in the same house her whole life.

Most of her family is from Georgia, but she is twenty-five percent Spanish. At UGA, Rebecca is studying Biology and is Pre-Med. Her interest in the human body was sparked when she broke her arm in second grade, and she asked the nurses who attended to her how the IV worked. Taking Anatomy & Physiology in high school made Rebecca realize she wanted to pursue medicine as a career. She does not want to be a family practitioner or work on the brain or heart. When I interviewed her, she was leaving for Peru in two days  with Medlife to shadow doctors and do medical things that she wouldn't have the opportunity to do as an undergraduate in the States. When she is older, Rebecca would like to have a boy and a girl and "focus on family life," and Pinterest "sparks ideas such as wedding dreams and home decorations." She also likes the cold weather and wouldn't mind living in Utah "among all the snow people." She specified that she does not want to be a stay-at-home mom and would rather become a substitute teacher in order to be more involved in her children's lives. Rebecca also said she would like to do some volunteer work in Africa after she becomes a doctor. In her life, Rebecca said she was never really a part of community service, but since she joined a service sorority at UGA she's constantly doing a volunteer project such as mentoring a 5th grade girl. In her spare time, Rebecca likes to paint and do DIY projects to "take her mind off of things."

Three words to describe yourself: strong, frank, organized
Lizzy moved to Kennesaw, Georgia at a young age from Jacksonville, Florida and is studying Business Management at Kennesaw State University. She would eventually like to start a ferrier business and be her "own boss" because she's "not really into the whole begging for a job deal." For the past ten years, Lizzy has been riding horses, and she says she was the typical child asking, "Can I have a pony, mom?" Currently, Lizzy is selling her trailer, equipment, and her horse named Dominick because she is "tired of competing" and wants to focus more on school at the moment. I asked what she enjoyed most about riding horse and Lizzy replied, "Building a relationship and being able to communicate to each other without saying a word." In her free time, Lizzy also enjoys riding motorcycles, without her parents knowing. Her goal is "to make six be happy digits, be happy doing it, and find a good husband."
