Her Campus (HC): First things first, what are your passions? Why?

Jordan Shwake (JS): I really love being a vegetarian and doing research about it. Animals have always been important to me and I love how not eating meat is also really good for the environment.

HC: When did you start to cultivate this passion?

JS: I tried to be a vegetarian a couple of times when I was younger, but I didn’t become a full time one until a year ago.

HC: What do you want to do with your life? Why?

JS: I want to help people. I’ve always had a lot of compassion for people, I just want this world to be a brighter place!

HC: How do you plan on doing that?

JS: I’m not really sure how. I’ve always wanted to be a clinical therapist but I wouldn’t mind working with charities or helping kids get out of troubled homes.

HC: What is one thing you regret in your life? Why?

JS: Not being confident in myself from the beginning. Loving yourself is the first step to getting the life you deserve!

HC: How would you describe your outlook on life?

JS: It can be great if you can figure out how to make the best out of any situation.

HC: What are three traits you’re proud of?

JS: I’d like to think I’m a good friend, dependable, slightly funny.
