Ben Schumann

Third year and Economics/Political Science

If you could have personally witnessed anything from history, what would you want to have seen and why?
  • I would have loved to see the collapse of the Berlin Wall - seeing that quintessential moment of freedom and reunification must have been awe-inspiring.

For what in your life do you feel the most grateful and why?
  • I am most grateful for the power of forgiveness - we all screw up and do stupid things now and again, but that doesn't usually mean that a given person should be written off from your life.

When you were little, what did you want to be and why?
  • I wanted to be President of the United States when I was little, because I thought I was a nice person who would be super good at helping people!

What would you name the autobiography of your life and why?
  • I would name my autobiography "Chasing Clouds," because my life up until now has always been focused on reaching high aspirations yet trying to enjoy the landscape along the way.

Maria DeLuca

Second-year in environmental engineering

If you could be a fly on the wall somewhere, where would it be and why?

  • I would go to the Oval Office. It seems like a cool place to be. 

What activity do you do that makes you feel most like yourself?

  • Playing guitar makes me feel most like myself.  I've been playing for about 9 years now. It's something I do to relieve stress and to get my mind off things after a long day. 

What song do you sing only when you’re alone and what memory does it bring back?

  • When I'm alone, I usually sing the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air theme song. It reminds me of what a pimp Will Smith is, and my childhood. 

What three words would you have on your grave stone?

  • Maria Rene DeLuca. I feel like those three words would be the most appropriate for my gravestone.
