Art is what brings some of us together, it is also what makes us think deeply. My sister is the girl in this pcitures, she’s a senior in high school and is in the process of applying for colleges. I want her to beable to have the opportunity to come to Pepperdine and experience the amazing time I had as well. I do not want nor expect her to follow my foot steps. I want my sister for carve her own path at Pepperdine and for her future. As applications come to a close for many seniors, I wish them all the best, and may you make many wonderful memories.

Hola, mi llamo Marissa Hernandez. Hey, I'm Marissa Hernandez, and I am a senior studying Psychology at Pepperdine University. I am involved and an active member of Alpha Kappa Psi, Business Fraternity and I am currently working on campus through the theater department. I am very passionate about art and working with children. I hope to one day open my own center that is primarily focused on children and teens, through the involvement of art, sports, cooking, and other fun activities. I personally believe that community and communication with their peers who have similar interest, is the most effective way of therapy. Besides my personal interest in the future, in my free time I love to socialize with my friends, paint, eat food, and cook. I have a habit of having dinner parties every weekend about 10-15 of our closest friends, in which I cook large feast of Mexican food or other types of foods. I have an addiction to Sawtelle, in which you might catch my in the wee hours of the night getting Tatsu or wintermelon boba. I am pretty easy to find on campus, since I never go a day without wearing a single flower or a lot of flowers in my hair.
