Interview with Brandy Ellison
Brandy Ellison is the 2008 first winner of the Pangea Strive for R.E.A.L.I.T.Y Scholarship.
We felt compelled to check up on Brandy to see how she has adjusted to life in college.
Brandon:Good afternoon Brandy how are you?
Brandy: I'm doing ok.
Brandon: What has been the hardest thing within your transition?
Brandy: Just being on my own and having to make everything happen by myself. I try not to pick up the phone every five minutes to call home for help so I guess that's the hardest part.
Brandon: I see. Are you the oldest?
Brandy: No I have five siblings over me.
Brandon: Oh ok!! So I'm sure you have plenty of advice and guidance given that prepared you for the grind you are on now.
Brandy: hahaha...well my aunt just keeps telling me not to come home with any babies!!
My sisters just encourage me to stay focused and continue to do my best.
Brandon: Man!! Pleeeeeeease don't come home with any babies! Laugh out loud, but no. You will have plenty of time for that later
Brandy: Yea I know.
Brandon: Nonetheless that is very important advice on all of those parts. It was clear to all of us that you have a desire to do big things and we hope you do so!!
Brandy: Thank you so much!!
Turn in tomorrow to catch Part 2!
