ABOUT Raleigh
University of Virginia, Sophomore
I love my college because…
I have grown up loving UVA since my mom received her Master’s degree here. It not only has great academics, but also has the majors I want to pursue.
I really hate…
slow walkers.
I major in…
Foreign Affairs and Middle Eastern Studies. I am currently involved in UVA’s ROTC program, so I will join the army after I finish my Bachelor’s degree and hopefully work in linguistics or intelligence.
My hometown is awesome because…
It’s so small and rural. Everywhere I go, I see someone I know.
At school, you can find me…
in Army ROTC, Arabic Conversation Club, International Relations Organization, volunteering to help international students practice their English speaking skills, and volunteering with Syrian refugees.
The coolest class I’ve taken so far is…
Arabic.
My ideal first date would be…
dinner and a movie (typical).
My favorite late night study snack is…
Goldfish or ice cream.
If I had 24 hours left to live, I would…
spend them with family and friends at the beach.
If I could change one thing about the world, it would be…
to eliminate judgment and prejudice.
If I could give my younger self one piece of advice, I would say…
don’t stress too much about grades, but always do your best no matter what.
I’m going to be Miss COED 2017 because…
I have a passion for what I study and do and want to share that with others as much as I can.
