Interview.

I had the pleasure of interviewing Jacquelyn. Jacquelyn  grew up in North Hampton, moved to Whitehall, and now currently lives in Allentown with her boyfriend Jarid. They have been together six years. She is the middle child. She has an older brother named Eric who is in the National Guard. He has traveled to Iraq where is his job was to drive a tank and detonate bombs that are on the street. She also has a younger brother Matthew who wants to join the Marines. Jacquelyn has two dogs, Stevey and O’rion

Jaquelyn plays piano and flute. The grandparents encourage the entire family to get into music. Her older brother Eric is a musical genius. Jaquelyn is currently learning Spanish. She wanted to learn another language that was more unique however she figures that Spanish is language that would benefit her the most to know.  After high school Jaquelyn started going to Bloomsburg University. She attended for a year, and then decided to leave because they didn’t have the major she wanted. At that time she was looking to go to school for Sign and Interpretation. Jaquelyn currently works full time at Fresenious Medical Care. She has been there for three years and spends her days verifying health insurance. She has decided to come to Cedar Crest College to receive her degree in social work. She wishes to use this degree towards a promotion at work. Although she enjoys what she does at work, her true passion is horses. Ever since Jaquelyn was a child she has gone horseback riding and even had a summer job in high school taking care of them. Twelve hour days and taking care of 30 horses was what she loved. She loved her job so much that she would work straight through the summer without a lot of days off.  The horse she rides every week is named Taffy. Even though Jaquelyn loves being with horses, it is not always easy. Along with the joy and relaxation that comes with riding horses, it has also brought broken bones. Jaquelyn has broken her foot and ribs. The worst accident experience was when she fell off of her horse while jumping over a bench.  If she could have any job in the world it would be a horse trainer, unfortunately, generic knee problems prevent that from happening. If Jaquelyn could go anywhere in the world she would travel to China and Ireland.
