To My Teammate, Friend And Classmate; To My Role Model

A role model doesn't have to be someone who is super famous, they can be one of your best friends.

To My Teammate, Friend And Classmate; To My Role Model
Craig Toncre

Having a role model is a very common thing. Most people would say their role model is a famous sports athlete or a celebrity. Not mine. My role model is someone I have only known for a little over a year. She is someone I just became really good friends with about two months ago. She is also only a year older than me.

My role model is my teammate, friend, and classmate Autumn. Autumn is the same major as me, journalism. Although we are in different types of journalism (I'm studying public relations and she is studying broadcast), she is someone I hope to become.

Autumn is very involved with broadcast. Her resume is probably five pages long. Between television, working behind the scenes, radio and film, Autumn does it all and does it well. I hope to be just as active and well-rounded in PR as she is in broadcast.

Autumn is also thriving in her career path. She's already working on a major television network as a junior in college. I hope to be half as successful as Autumn is at age 20.

Autumn, thank you for pushing me to do my best.

Thank you for proofreading my articles and papers.

Thank you for preparing me for interviews and making sure I am ready for anything.

Thank you for going over my resume and helping me making it perfect.

Thank you literally helping me with anything I ask you.

Thank you for being my teammate and staying positive on and off the lacrosse field. Thank you for suggesting we become the co-chair public relations officers for the team because I've already learned so much from it.

Thank you for always encouraging me and calling me with little things that always make my day! Your confidence and hard work inspires me to dream big and never ever give up.

A role model doesn't have to be someone who is super famous, although Autumn is well on her way to being a famous news anchor. They can be one of your best friends and I'm not sure where I'd be without Autumn and all of her help.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
