FORT COLLINS, CO—Dead Horse Point state park in Utah to some may not seem like the most romantic place in the world, but for Catherine May, a junior at CSU, it is not only a gorgeous place to visit, but the place she got engaged. “I love to travel,” she says, “I travel a lot since I couldn’t when I was young.”
“I grew up in a cow town,” says May jokingly as she describes her home in Pennsylvania. She began college at the Colorado School of Mines and soon transferred to CSU to pursue a degree in Technical Journalism. “Most of my family lives in a very small area around New York City and nobody traveled much so I decided to go west for college.”
It’s a rare circumstance when one’s talents and career opportunities intermingle, but for May, designing, assembling and selling her own jewelry has been a part of her life since middle school. Now that she’s on her own, Catherine has managed to attain a business license and start her own online business. “It’s one of my greatest accomplishments,” she says.
An average day for Catherine is much like the average college student. She is not much of a morning person, “I don’t wake up well, but I never forget to eat breakfast.” She then goes to class, does her homework and spends her evenings at marching band practice, or hanging out with her roommate.
When asked ‘what lies ahead for you?’ May replied “I really want to write for an engineering company; I like to write more technical stuff.” She said she plans on getting married after she graduates, sometime in 2012. “My fiancé wants to move to France, but I don’t know about that!”
You did a really good job writing this. I can't find any errors. It's a little strange reading something someone wrote about me! I really like the ending too- you did a good job of putting my dreams and goals into a few short sentences. The only thing I'd change is maybe write a little more about my switch from Mines to CSU and career goals. Good job!
