Growing up I had many interests. I loved to write stories, I played the violin, and I raised rabbits for 4H. I was also in Girl Scouts and liked to do crocheting, knitting, and even sewing. I guess you could say I am a very right-brained type of person.

Military Life in a Bubble
Living on a military installation, I sometimes feel a sense of wonder. I get to see the manicured lawns of my neighbors each day, as I look around and see the beautiful houses which uniformly line at least a dozen streets and remind me of what it must be like to live in suburbia.
The Army and Culture
One thing I’ve come to love about life in a military setting is that you get to meet people from just about everywhere. I grew up in northern Indiana, and for those of you who haven’t been there, no, it’s not all corn fields. I’m from South Bend, which was named for being on the south bend of the St. Joseph River. It’s most noted for being the home of Notre Dame and is where Studebaker cars were once manufactured.
Defining Moments
I was recently watching The Breakfast Club, and as many of you know, something that sets it apart from most movies from the ’80s (apart from it being a John Hughes film) is the song at the end—“Don’t You (Forget About Me)” by Simple Minds. This song is really an iconic and defining piece from this time in history and is basically synonymous with this movie.
