App State Student Ambassador
Hey ya’ll! I’m Lauren and I’m a freshman at Appalachian State University and a new Zinch Student Ambassador! I absolutely love App State! It gets cold, but the beauty of Boone makes up for it. I plan on majoring in nursing, with a minor in Spanish, if possible. After working as a nurse for a year or so to pay for school, I would like to continue my education to become a Pediatrician.
I love to read, and I love to learn. Right now, the thing I’m most interested in is the Counterculture Movement of the 1960’s (i.e. the Civil Rights, Women’s Rights, and the Hippie Movements.) I’m extremely talkative and pretty outgoing. I love to travel and hope to keep traveling in my future. I would also like to take at least an introductory course in Chinese, French, and Italian, if not more languages.
All through high school, I couldn’t decide my major or what college would be good place for me to spend the next four years of my life. Around April or May, my major found me. I decided what most interested me, and what most fit my personality, and that turned out to be nursing. Finally, on the day of the enrollment deadline, I chose Appalachian State. Honestly, I am so happy about my decision. I find something else to like about this college or this city everyday. Appalachian is unlike any college I’ve ever visited or heard of. There is no “weird” or “different” at App State because everyone is different! It’s the only place I’ve seen sorority girls, nerds, and hippies all hang out together. App State has gone above and beyond my expectations. Appalachian State University now, and always will, have a place in my heart.
If you have any questions about Appalachian, just send me a message through the AppState Q&A (http://www.zinch.com/node/930/qanda). I’d love to answer any questions you have about Appalachian and help you on your college search!

Community "Green" Volunteer - recycling & beautification, "Hands on Charlotte" Volunteer (4 years)
"Lauren helped recruit and lead a team of high school volunteers to participate in a major recycling effort at Charlotte's Speed Street Festival in 2010 and 2011. The volunteers helped keep tons of recyclable material out of landfills."

Habitat for Humanity "House Build"- Charlotte, NC, Volunteer
"I co-directed a team of real estate professionals to do "paint day" on a Habitat House in Charlotte. As the scheduled date approached, it became apparent that our team was going to be short participants. Lauren jumped in, after a short explanation of our goal, and gathered a smaller team of 8 high school students to assist us. Without she and her friends' participation, our goal would not have been realized! She's a true leader!"

Olympic High School 2011 "Big Project", Student Volunteer Coordinator & Participant
"Lauren was always willing to gather students to participate or help in PTO activities, the Olympic "Big Project" was no exception. She helped gather student & parent volunteers to help pick up trash around the property as well as work on multiple beautification projects that day. Our team layed mulch, picked up paper, built flower boxes and planted flowers thoughout the campus. What a huge difference that made."
