What was your most embarrassing Wesleyan moment?
So, one afternoon during lacrosse practice in 9th grade I was running to get water during a break. Lauren Oakes and I decided to race to the water fountain. Little did I know that you’re not supposed to run on concrete with cleats. Lauren stopped before we reached the concrete, but I didn’t. So there goes little Hannah flying in the air. Eventually, I came down and skid on the concrete for a while, which left me with a bloody leg and a bunch of lacrosse boys laughing at me.

What was your most embarrassing Wesleyan moment?
Of all the years to happen, my most embarrassing moment came in the beginning of the second semester of freshman year. It was the first day of baseball tryouts and I decided to begin throwing with Anthony Papa before anyone else. We started off just tossing, but knowing that Coach Krehmeyer would be there soon, I began to start throwing harder and harder. I finally let one go as hard as I could, and I did this just a bit too early. The baseball went over Papa’s head and missed Chandler Center’s by about an inch. Who else was there of course? All the senior baseball players. Let’s just say my Wesleyan baseball career didn’t get off to the best start.
What is one thing you wished you had done in high school?
I honestly wish that I would had come to more extracurricular events at Wesleyan. I usually got so wrapped up in either my academics, or travel baseball or Wesleyan baseball that I did not have enough time to see my peers play in their events. I still regret not going to a water polo match, even though I promised Andy Archer I would 4 years ago.
If you had 24 hours left to live, what would you do?
If I only had 24 hours left, I would want to get everyone who is close to me together to say one last goodbye. Though it would not be, I would want this event to be as enjoyable as possible. In addition to this, I would want to settle any disputes with people, because I would not want them to live the rest of their lives regretting something so miniscule and simple to ameliorate. Finally, I would ask my friends and family to carry on my mission by raising money and awareness for adolescents battling substance abuse and suicidal tendencies in God’s name.
What was your dream job when you were a little kid versus what is your dream job now?
When I was young, I dreamt of becoming a sports agent for the sole reason of consistently being around high-profile athletes. As soon as I hit 13 years old, I had braces put on in order to fix the gap between my two front teeth. The feeling that blossomed inside me once they were taken off was indescribable. From this point on, I knew in my heart that this is what I must do in life. I still strive to become an orthodontist, though it requires 10 years of schooling.

What is one thing you wished you had done in high school?
I wish I would have joined the swim team.

What was your most embarrassing Wesleyan moment?
Last year, at prom, I felt terrible for most of the dance. I think the chicken I ate for dinner was under-cooked and made me sick. For most of the dance I felt like I might throw up and would step out of the tent to stand near the trash can until the nausea passed. During one of these times, a senior girl tried to throw away her cup of water, but hit me instead, soaking my dress. Wet and sick to my stomach, I carried on through the rest of the dance until, on the way the car, I leaned over and threw up in the bushes. With no other options, had to walk, past all the teachers, back to the 5th grade hall bathroom and cleaned myself up. Needless to say, there is lots of room for improvement this year.
