Ben's Angels aka the Fab 4 aka "The Interns"

As my summer winds down, I thought I'd take some time to talk about my 3 fellow interns and some qualities that I admire in each of them. Actually...Ben's making us blog about this because he's corny. lol. But I'll do it anyway because i guess I love them and what not...

Asia aka ROOMIE!: Despite the fact that she's the youngest intern EVER (lol), Asia is definitely the mother of the interns. Whenever you need someone to kill one of the larger bugs in your room or give you a disapproving look Asia is always there. I've really enjoyed having her as a roommate and getting to know her better this summer, even if she does give me backwards glances sometimes for generally being a weird person. And whenever you need someone to say what's on everyone's mind, but they refuse to say, Asia is right there to say it. Asia keeps it real, and that's one of the many things i love about her.

Tahina: Although we've had some disputes this summer one thing that I've always really admire about Tahina is her passion. No matter what she's doing, whether it's working on her project or talking about Haiti and her future goals, Tahina always puts a hundred percent of her efforts and emotions into her endeavors. Although this quality caused some conflict at times, l I think its one of her best qualities and one that makes her who she is. I admire her ability to throw herself into a project without hesitancy and to give it her all without fear. Overall, she's a pretty cool chick.

Shanika: Shanika is definitely the jokester of the bunch. Whenever you need a good laugh count on Shanika to make light of both serious and silly occurrences in the intern world. Shanika and I probably have the most similar sense of humors, so it's been really great having her around this summer to make fun of all the ridiculousness that occurs in Mississippi and the in the life of an MTC intern. Not unlike Asia, her humor is often really blunt, which only adds to her comedic timing. Definitely glad she was along for the ride this summer.

But I can't leave without saying some words about myself...

Kelly: Kelly is definitely the prettiest of all the interns. If I could tell her anything it would be how much I ...SIKE. Ha. That was a joke. This post isn't about me. It's about the 3 lovely ladies that I've worked with all summer long and who I've grown to love and appreciate. I am so glad I've gotten to know them all better before my last year at Amherst, and I look forward to spending time with all of them in the fall
