My name is McKenzie O’Connor and I’m a freshman majoring in Communications. Ever since I was a little girl I’ve always wanted to come to JMU. Purple is my favorite color, which led to me choosing this University! I love to sing in the car and shower and love to dance everywhere! I’ve played soccer, basketball, and lacrosse, but prefer dancing. I was one of the captains on my high school’s dance team for two years. My favorite kind of music is anything you can move to. These hobbies relate to almost all teenage girls. It was fairly easy to make friends in my dorm whom shared the same interests as me. For my community narrative, I plan on writing about being a member of Hoffman Hall’s first floor. My dorm is sometimes called the Hoffman Hotel because it was recently redone. The first floor consists of all girls. As you can imagine, it is drama and estrogen filled. I am hoping to research how people interact when they are confined to quarters and studies with their same sex.

McKenzie,
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a great topic because you have plenty of personal experience to draw upon. I had a student write about her residence hall as a community last semester. Think about what makes your residence hall unique. The location and size of the hall in conjunction with the community members make it unique. In terms of community members, consider potential leaders and tipping people who influence this hall, too. Think about your resident advisors and FROGs and the roles they played in creating this community.
Your research area sounds like a good place to start!
