What to Sell?

Student Spotlight Wednesday: Better Know a Ross Student

This is the fourth weekly installment of our 149 part series, "Better Know a Ross Student". Every week on Wednesday we will be introducing another member of our fantastic class. 

This week: Janelle!

Where are you from?
Hermitage, Pennsylvania aka Pennsyltucky. It is a small town in Western PA, located an hour north of Pittsburgh

You say small, but did you know that by area Hermitage is actually the 3rd largest city in PA?(Also, I like that one of the high school mascots is a "Hickory Hornet", it sounds impressive. Thanks Wikipedia!) How did you end up at Ross?
I applied to all the Caribbean schools and was accepted to all, but I chose Ross because of the accelerated courses and the hands on experience (generic response).

Two can play that game:(generic question) Favorite thing about St. Kitts? 
That the number "Three" no longer exists, it is now "Tree".

Least Favorite?
I dislike how the buses drive soooo fast, one almost killed me. 

Yeah, they go about tree times the speed limit. What do you miss most about home? 
My sister and my cat named Pizza. And real pizza too!

I am not sure what is more hilarious: the fact that you made a birthday card for your cat or that he has a middle name. So if you could start your own restaurant, would it sell a lot of pizza? 
I would open a pastery shop because I have a HUGE sweet tooth and I enjoy baking. Also, I love the shows Ace of Cakes and Cake Boss, their cakes are amazing.

And the Cake Boss host is fairly dashing. Who was your first kiss with and how awesome was it? 
My dog. It was pretty sloppy and I liked it. But seriously, it was when I was in 5th grade I kissed an experienced 6th grader under my friends ping pong table. Sparks were flying. Just kidding it was horrible and awkward.

I remember when I was in 5th grade and a 6th grader stole my girlfriend. I suppose girls are suckers for older men. Also, how did you end up together underneath a ping pong table??? That could be a whole story by itself. Which animal would you be and why?
Definitely a poison dart frog because they're badass and they do it froggy style. Whatever the hell that is. 

Because this is a family column, I am afraid to comment on "froggy style." Is there a place where you wouldn't be caught dead?(and is the answer underneath a ping pong table?)
Naked on the Strip at tree in the morning. No explanation needed.

Wow, this interview just took a turn for the evocative. Side Note: Do not Google Image search the term "Naked on the Strip." Where is the best place to go camping and why? 
My backyard because if you had to tinkle you can just run inside rather than squatting behind a bush.

Maybe a little descriptive but I like the forward planning. Who is your celebrity crush?
John Travolta! Embarrassing confession, I have his picture framed in my bedroom back in the states. Danny Zuko in tight leather pants gets me hot and bothered.  

Is it just me, or does the Cake Boss look like a forty-something Zuko? Just for a second imagine that after Grease(Grease 2 never happened!) Danny settled down somewhere in Jersey, ditched the car racing/gangs/smoking and started baking (and eating) a lot of cake, but never lost his flair for performing. 25 years later he ends up with a TV show about making cakes right? I am just saying we have never seen the Cake Boss and John Travolta in the same place so I can't rule it out. What is a guilty pleasure you can't live without?(Is the answer Danny Zuko?) 
Eating candy of any kind, especially while studying.

Did you ever try the Spice Girls official candy? Which Spice Girl would you be and why? 
Baby Spice because no one can rock the high pigtails with bangs better than her.
 

 
Oh, Emma Bunton. You wouldn't believe how long it took me to find an appropriate picture of her. Lets change the subject before I get hot and bothered. Where do you see yourself in 15 years?
Married and knocked up at least tree times, with a successful practice, a house in the country with a lot of land and a variety of pets. Oh and a white picket fence.



Classic American dream. Many thanks to Janelle for her participation especially right before a test. Now if you will excuse me, with all this talk of Baby Spice, cakes, Danny Zuko, froggy style, and ping pong tables, I need to go take a cold shower...

Good Luck on Nutrition!

Student Spotlight Wednesday: Better Know a Ross Student

This is the third weekly installment of our 149 part series, "Better Know a Ross Student". Every week on Wednesday we will be introducing another member of our fantastic class. 

This week: Kendra!

Where are you from?

I am from New Rochelle, New York. But since no one seems to know where that is lets just say I live in the suburbs right outside New York City. Lol.

View Larger Map Get Directions 

Another New Yorker! There must be a lot of people there or something. How did you end up at Ross?
I ended up at Ross after being rejected from the other schools I applied to in the states. NOBODY WANTED ME!!!! TEAR!!!!! 

What do you like most about the veterinary profession?
I like the variety of jobs that you can get after getting a DVM degree. None of them sound boring so you know each and everyday no matter what you choose to do it will be interesting.

Favorite thing about St. Kitts?
My favorite thing about Saint Kitts is the currency rate. A few US dollars can go a long way down here. And of course the weather.

Its all about the Elizabeths. Least Favorite?
My least favorite thing about Saint Kitts is how early the sun goes down. Normally that only hopes during a certain time of year in the states. Here thats an everyday thing.

What do you miss most about home?
I miss my family and the FOOD! I've been craving a Big Mac and the Outbacks Bloomin Onion for weeks now.

 

I think everybody just drooled a little bit. Who is the person you respect most, and why?
I respect my mom the most. She always knows what to say when I need to hear it. And she's always gone above and beyond to make sure that I have as best a life as possible.

If you could be any animal what would you be and why?
If I could be any animal in the world it would be a Killer Whale. Hands down. I love them and my other dream job was to work as a trainer and do the live shows with them at Sea World for hundreds of people.

They are the Chuck Norris of the seas, excellent choice. If you had to change your name, what would you change it to, and why?
I don't think I would want to change my name. I mean, its not the most unique these days but its still a name a lot of people don't have or hear too often. I mean, I am the only Kendra currently in the school. I think. And possibly the island. So, I don't want to give that up. If anything I would just want a cool nickname other then Ken, thats for a boy. Not a girl.
 
I didn't even think to call you that, but now you have a new nickname Ken. Are you better than boys at video games?
I AM WAY BETTER AT VIDEO GAMES THEN GUYS. Or at least all the guys I have gone up against. I am the proud owner of a PS3, Wii, and PSP. Sadly, I wasn't able to bring any of that down with me this semester so its been awhile since I have played. So I might be a little rusty, but I will be making up for my lack of playing during the break. I always feel like if it doesn't work out with me being a vet I will become a video game tester/ designer or something. I'm just good at them like that and they're something I enjoy doing.
 
Time spent playing video games is inversely related with high grades at vet school so its probably a good thing you don't have them all here. Which Backstreet Boy is your favorite?
My favorite Backstreet Boy was Aj. He was like the dangerous one who was just wild and crazy, I loved it, you could just tell things would never be boring hanging out with him. And to top it all off he was still a pretty good singer.

Yeah he is. Wasn't he the one who ended up in rehab? Definitely not boring. I'm guessing he was your first crush?
My first crush was.............when I was 8 and I was crushing on my moms friend son. Who was like 5 years older. He was just so cool being a teenager and I was still a young girl. His name was Cj. And I'm still friends with him today. But of course those crush feelings are all gone.

He doesn't sound as wild and crazy, I'm not sure I like him as much as AJ. Also, I am thinking you have a thing for guys with two letter names ending in J. What was your best MacGyver moment?
Ummmm who is MacGyver? I honestly don't know.

Wow. You are missing out Ken. To wrap it up tell us what goal you want to accomplish the most in your lifetime?
The greatest goal in my lifetime would be to live a long life with my good friends and families surrounding me. Get married and start a family of my own all while enjoying life and Thanking God for everyday that he continues to give me of it.

Many thanks to Kendra for taking time away from her studying this week. Enjoy the test and good luck everybody!
