About Adriana
I’m from a little town called Gobles. It has one blinking light, and my class had a total of 90 students. We were the biggest in the high school at the time. I went to Gobles High School, our middle school and high school was combined and the elementary was about 100 yards away. Everyone knew everyone else. I graduated in 2008, and I am the youngest in my family so it was kind of a big deal for my parents and siblings.
My mother and sister attended Western so I have always known where I wanted to go. In eighth grade I also received a four year academic scholarship to Western, so that was another reason I chose to come here. I was lucky that I knew where I wanted to go, and didn’t really have to go through the really tough decision making process when it comes to what college to go to.
I lived on campus. It is a great way to meet new people and get comfortable with the campus and just college life in general. It is also very convenient because you can just walk anywhere you want. A car really is not necessary, and if I just want to relax in between my classes all I have to do is walk a few minutes and I’m at my dorm. I don’t have much free time being a full time student with two jobs, but when I do I like to work out at the student recreation center. I love that it is free for students.
