My name is Nely and I am from Trenton, New Jersey. I am a junior at Muhlenberg College. I am majoring in Media and Communications and Sociology. My partner for this class assignment was Shreya. She is from Morocco and has two siblings (one sister, one brother). Shreya is also a Junior at Lafayette College studying Film and Economics. At Lafayette, Shreya is Vice President of student government and French language proctor/tutor. Shreya is fond of nature; thus that is why we decided to have her take a picture in the midst of trees. Shreya took a picture of both my wrist. My right wrist has a “Play 4 The Cure In-F-C-R” bracelet. My left wrist contains a fairly fresh scar. Due to my competitive nature, especially in sports, I’m constantly prone to some bumps and bruises.
I think this assignment was extremely challenging because after the first class, i started wondering how would I take one picture that would define my best friend here at college. I went back into my room and spoke to her about the assignment. She responded with a laugh. There is a lot more to a person than just one image. My roommate/best friend is passionate about her dog, her teen mom baby shows, her seltzer water, her exact 8 hours of sleep, getting work done before sunset, eating good meals, and more. She’s an extremely fun and loving character, too. I’ve been thinking about taking one picture that defines her till today(3 weeks later) and I’m still struggling.
