I am very grateful that the HRFA helps its members with these scholarships. My original intents were to be a pre-med/biology student. Being financially realistic, I decided to pursue a shorter course of study. I am currently double majoring in Physical Education and Health with minors in Education and Exercise Science. My curriculum includes religion and multi-cultural classes, which I highly enjoy. I am maintaining a 3.1 GPA and playing football. Living on a farm has introduced me to multitasking. During my summer break, I work full-time at Wal-Mart and on my days off, I work construction. In addition, I still manage to help my family bale hay on our family farm.” (Dean was recommended by Director Joe Fabri) Amanda Carlson, member of 378: “I am currently a at the University of Rochester. I have majored in , political science and I am currently in the process of putting together an interdepartmental major in Chinese language and history. My studies in political science have been focused on international relations. My major advisor, Prof. Hein Goemans, has helped me choose interesting classes, many of which I would not have taken on my own. Of the subjects I have studied, Chinese has been the most interesting and the most challenging. This year is my third year of language study. I have been blessed with a truly wonderful language teacher, Shifang Zhang Yu, who has encouraged me and helped me every step of the way. I am currently in the process of applying to a study abroad program in Beijing for the Fall 2006 semester. I have chosen to apply to a very heavy language program in the hope of improving my spoken fluency. Aside from my studies, I am also actively involved in the All Campus Judicial Council (ACJC). ACJC is a peer review panel for disciplinary and academic honesty cases. In addition
