Name of the University you attend/attended/will attend:
Undecided, but I’ll get back to you on that one.

Favorite YT Memory:
I hid from one of the chaperones and they thought I’d gotten lost, so I had my roommate call our director on his cell phone. He frantically ran around trying to find me, but, lo and behold, I was hiding behind a giant statue at one of the memorials, watching the whole thing.

Favorite YLC Memory:
Wow – just one memory. That’s a hard thing to do! We had an amazing group. When all the YLC members first met, we had to introduce ourselves, and Dugan Hughes from Wyoming did a chant that was hilarious. I thought he was the most conceited person ever, but he ended up being so cool. Oh, one other one - the practice for Sunday morning singing was great. Putting 43 people in the same room, all of whom think of themselves as leaders and telling us to sing… now, that was a good time, let me tell you.

Favorite Movie:
Patch Adams

Favorite Song:
At the moment, “When I Get Where I’m Goin”

Favorite Band:
