Good evening everyone! My name is Selena Martinez and I am from  "deep in the heart of Texas", specifically Houston, Texas. The avatar I uploaded is a photo of my bestfriend and I a few days before I wished her farewell. Seen here is simply a couple of girls with their hands in the air, but the thought behind the photo was much more. We've known each other since 1st grade and have gone through the last 12 years of life together which practically makes us inseperable. Ironically, that very moment where we threw our hands up in the air was a celebration for finishing this chapter of our lives and beginning the next one. This photo does not capture the fear of the future or the pain of leaving the past. Instead it appreciates the journey and what is to come.

Hi everyone! I'm Bre Genaro from PA. I live just under an hour away from Bryn Mawr. My avatar is a picture of me while visiting Wales with a group of friends this spring. I was incredibly excited to immerse myself in a new culture and meet new people, hense my super excited expression! I would say that this picture describes my yearn for adventure whether it be in a new country or in my backyard. 

Not entirely sure if this is the correct place to post this, but let's give this a shot! I seem to have gone on a tangent, but

The avatar I've chosen to use as my online representation is a selfie I took at this most recent May Day, just before President Cassidy rolled by in a carriage with the Traditions Mistresses. This picture captures a lot of the ways I've chosen to owtwardly represent aspects of my personality, really an outward performance of more inner tendencies.

East Coast Beast Coast(Group 2) spoke a lot about our education to describe how we got to this moment of time. From that we were able to identify that having the means to get an education(related to that, feeling that we want to help others without worrying about helping ourselves) was something we had in common. Our desire to help was a commonality, although we want to help in different ways. The methods of helping ranged from providing access to theater to working in natinal parks to helping inmates reintegrate in society. We also discussed being at Bryn Mawr, and how wanting to be in an engaging program, whether undergraduate or graduate, was what led us all to the college.

Last year I was on leave during the fall semester.  I'd just moved into the city of Philadelphia, the days were bright and blue, and I was learning to take pictures.  One late afternoon I was wandering with my camera through the narrow streets and alleyways over on the east side of the city.  I was in a little dead-end alley where the sun was coming down in slices, and I liked the way the light looked falling over the cobblestones and cement.  A guy was standing about a block away working his cell phone, but otherwise it was quiet.  Then a tall young man walking his dog crossed at the intersection with a larger street - was it Pine?

Happy First Day of School!
