HC: What is your favorite Holiday tradition?
MH: In my neighborhood, there is a man who always sets up the most elaborate Christmas lights and decorations. As the years progressed, the neighbors around him began setting up their own outstanding decorations. So each year, me, my mom, and my sister drive around the neighborhood to judge who has the best set up!
HC: What is the best class you’ve taken at Agnes?
MH: I really enjoyed taking my Intro to Jazz Dance class during my first year. It had been a long while since I danced, so I was more than happy to get back into it.
HC: What is it like having a twin?
MH: It’s so much fun, especially when people don’t know I am one! We’re identical genetically, but still different in many ways. But even so, whenever I have a problem that I feel like no one else will understand, I tell it to her. Most of the time we have the same opinions, but even if they differ we can at least know what perspective the other is coming from.
HC: Do you and MeaLenea ever play pranks on people?
MH: We’ve never intentionally pulled pranks on people. The closest we’ve ever got was in middle school. My sister and I had classes with the same teachers but at different times. One day we had a substitute teacher in our language arts class. I transitioned out the class, and she came in right after. Before the substitute even called the role, she told my sister to get out. When my sister asked why, the substitute replied, “You we’re just in this class!” Of course the students in the classroom all knew she was a twin, so they had to back her up in explaining that she was an identical twin.
HC: Have you changed since coming to Agnes?
MH: I definitely have. I’ve grown as a person, matured as a student, and I value different things now than I did in high school. I’ve also been introduced to an incredibly diverse community here at Agnes, which I had never experienced before coming here. The different things I’ve learned from this community have changed my perspective in life.
HC: What do you miss the most being away from home?
MH: I really miss high school sometimes, especially my friends. But I always remind myself to be thankful for the past, but to also make new memories in college while I can.
HC: What are your Halloween plans? What are you dressing as?
MH: My roommate and I are really trying to go to a fraternity party. I didn’t really celebrate Halloween growing up, so still don’t know what I’m going to be dressed up as. Who knows!
