What’d you do this summer? I played a lot of tennis. I played in USTA tournaments and went to Urbana, Illinois, Macon, Georgia, and Rapid City, South Dakota… Oh and I also nannied for a 13-year-old girl named Sophie.
A nanny? Yeah, I drove her around, coached her for tennis for free, and cooked for her.

So you like country music? Yeah, I like Carrie Underwood, Lover Lover by Jerrod Niemann, and Dirt Road Anthem that’s a really good one.
What other types of music do you listen to? I really like mashups and alternative.
Do you sing in the shower? Of course, usually to Suit and Tie by JT

Besides tennis, what do you want to get involved in at WashU? I’m considering trying out for acapella next year.
Acapella? You sing? Yup!
