PREPARED BY VIOLET SARAH PRINCE
& RABIYA SHAUKAT

We interact with various people all the
time, but have you ever wondered what
really makes them tick? We asked 5
wonderful humans at ADU.

CAS Academic Advisor

I recently read this quote “It is never too
late to be what you might have been.” and
I think it’s the perfect motto for my life.
There are 4 key factors that have brought
me to this point. First, having encouraging
superiors. Second, being receptive to new
experiences. Third, appreciating every
encounter with students and coworkers.
Fourth, self-reflection. I hope to have the
small things I’ve done to be remembered
once I’m gone. Like, “Oh, I remember how
she made statistics so simple” or “My favorite
sweet was the caramel she had in her office.”
To ADU students, I’d say, “Follow your study
plan and open your heart to your advisor.”
That, and also, “Create your opportunities.”
