Hey guys my names Kristen, all my friends normally call me otter. I came all the way down here from the boring little town Sicklerville, New Jersey. I have always been a so called "want to be" southern girl and have dreamt of attending college in South Carolina. I am attending upstate for my nursing degree and to make a difference. My mom went to school for nursing and I always have wanted to follow in her footsteps and get my degree. I have been coming to South Carolina for all-star cheerleading ever since I was 7. I fell in love with it and decided I wanted to move here. After making up my mind I applied to all the major schools in the state. I applied to Clemson, costal Carolina, USC upstate and USC Columbia. I ended up getting a full ride to Columbia for athletics and academics but decided to come to upstate to cheer at a local gym in Greenville for my freshman year.
A few of my passions are cheerleading and figure skating. I started cheerleading at 4 years old as the little one on my big sisters team. Ever since that day my life has revolved around cheerleading. I traveled all over the place to compete and attend camps. I am very athletic and enjoy doing any type of activity. I also love being around people and trying to do everything I can to make some ones day. I plan on making a difference everyday which brings me to my major, nursing. I plan on graduating from undergrad school in three years (taking summer classes) and attending grad school at Columbia to further my nursing career. I plan on getting an apartment and living in South Carolina throughout my schooling. Even though I am originally a jersey girl I am extremely happy to be down south.
