"I used to work for a weekly newspaper in a coastal town in North Carolina, as a reporter. There was a neighborhood in town where all the streets were named after ships which had wrecked off the coast. My editor wanted me to go and meet the people, to get to know more about it. So I met this person, who was the great grandson of one of the captain of the wrecked ships. Every year, he and his family would go and set a wreath at this street. Here (2nd picture) he was telling the story of when his great grandfather went on his last faithful voyage and that's me with my reporter pad, taking notes. I worked very hard during this job to succeed because I felt that I was not good enough at it. That is the reason I keep this picture in my office to remind myself that I can do this." -Liz

"Sometimes the things we enjoy the most come in mysterious ways for me it is both science and art. On one side, I love learning about chemicals and biology, but I also love to just grab a pencil and draw something." -Unnati

"One reason why I enjoy working around here is that I get to see smiling faces every day. I ask students to talk to me if they are stressing about something and need to get it off their chest. I am basically a listening ear." - Kyle Gibson

"Blaze will be four on Halloween. I got him after I lost a football game during my junior year of high school. He wakes my mom up first and then comes into my room to cuddle with me in bed. He likes to play fetch, but he never will give you the ball back. He brings the ball back but will growl if you try to take it away. He’s very friendly though and loves meeting new people. The first thing he does when he meets a new person is he’ll roll on his back so you can rub his belly. He has so much energy that he’ll sprint across the house for about five minutes until he finally stops to get water from his bowl. He destroys every toy we give him unless it’s super toughly made. My whole family gets Blaze toys for Christmas and I got him one for his birthday off Amazon. I don’t get to go home very often since I play a college sport, so I won’t get to see him again until Thanksgiving break. Not getting to see him is the toughest part about being at school. He is probably my best friend!"- Landon
