I was so happy to be able to get to know Sam. I had talked to her a few times before this project, but I’d never really talked to her. As it would turn out, Sam is one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met. For our project, we decided to walk around and take pictures in South Oval and eat at Sloopy’s Diner, so we would have time to get to know one another. Before this, I’d always admired Sam as a musician. She is an amazing oboist, and always holds her self well; I now know that Sam has extreme drive and passion for what she does. She was inspired by her band director to pursue a career in music, and I don’t think I’ve talked to anyone with so much dedication to her calling. But even more than that, I really admire how humble Sam is. She carries herself with grace, and I think that shines through in her everyday actions.
Of course, there are many other sides to her personality. Sam is just as silly as I am, which is one of the many reasons I enjoy her company so much. I think the picture of Sam truly captures her silly and bashful nature. She is a beautiful person inside and out, and I’m lucky to be able to call her my friend. I really liked this assignment, as it gave us a chance to make a new connection and maybe even a lifelong friend. In fact, Sam and I are going to the beach together this summer with a group of our friends, and I couldn’t be more excited.
