It is interesting today, the way someone perceives themselves versus how we perceive them. I met Tara Irvin at college orientation in August and since then I have had the pleasure of getting to know her. I asked Tara how she views herself as a person. She responded with shy, quiet and friendly, while I agree with all of these, I see Tara as a different person than she sees herself. I see Tara as selfless she is always trying to help people before herself, I see her as a determined person. She may start out as a quiet person, but once you get to know her she opens up and let's you see the real her.
I asked Tara who her biggest motivated was and she explained that she used guidance from her both her mom and her dad, and some self motivation to go to Cedar Crest College and pursue a nursing degree here. Cedar Crest was a good fit for her because she got a good scholarship to attend school here and the campus is also small, and since she isn't good with directions a small school and a small campus is the best fit for her.Some random things I learned about Tara during this interview is that she fears the unknown. Both personally and for others, She also fears drowning in an ocean. She is an amazing singer, and you can listen to her sing in the link here ==> Tara Singing
If she had the chance to meet anyone in world dead or alive, she would choose Hennrietta Lacks. Lacks passed from cancer, but her cancer cells are currently being used to help create a cure for cancer. Tara would asked her questions about what is it like knowing that her cells are making a difference in the lives of people everywhere.
