Focusing on AMBER

Amber Weaver is a freshman here at Guilford. She is from Monroe, North Carolina, and came here for basketball. I've known Amber for about a month now and in that month I have came to realize the type of a person she is. She's shy at first but once she's comfortable around you, she's funny, kind and a such a fun person to be around. I thought it would be interesting to interview Amber because I wanted to see what shapes her as a person. So, let's focus on Amber!

-Background:

"I'm from Monroe, North Carolina. I have an older brother and sister..yes, I'm the baby! I go to Midway Baptist Church and I worked at Pizza Hut as a waitress during high school- since I was a sophomore actually. I still work there some on the weekends that I come home from college. I make bank there!"

-Why Guilford?

"I decided to come to Guilford because I'm going to play basketball. I feel like it's a good college and I liked the feeling of studying at a small school where I could interact more with the professors."

       -What do you think about it so far?

               "It's different but I like it pretty good. I like the class sizes because I like the individual help that I'm able to get."

-Major?

"Right now i want to major in exercise and sports science, but I'm probably going to end up changing it to education so I can be a teacher."

-For Fun?

"I like to play basketball, hang out with friends and this is going to sound nerdy, but I like to read...like good books- not books for school. I also spend a lot of time with my family when I'm able to and I enjoy going to church."

-Church

"I got saved when I was 14 and I'm really involved in my youth church group back at home. I go to Lawndale Baptist Church while I'm here at school though."

-Something people don't typically know about you?

"I'm really shy when I first meet people. I like to meet new people but I'm shy- I don't like to talk a lot."

"My walk with God is the most important thing and it always should be."
