Friendly Friday!

Sorry about posting this so late on Friday afternoon! I had it all finished, but for some reason I actually had to work at work today. Who would've thought. Anyway, without further delay, I present to you: Katie Leachman!

Name: Katie Leachman

Major:Math Education and Music Performance

Favorite Childhood Cartoon: Rugrats

What have you appreciated about VT thus far? I've appreciated the fact that while as far as administration I'm just another number/incoming freshman I still feel like I'm a part of a really tight-knit community, between the BCM, my piano studio, and getting to know friends of friends.

If you could do anything without the possibility of failure and money wasn't a restraint: what would you do? I think that I would move to New York City, go to Juilliard, and be in Wicked on Broadway.

What is your favorite thing to do to rest and/or relax? I LOVE TO SLEEP. But when I'm awake, I like to make bracelets--lots and lots of bracelets.

Are you reading any books right now? I'm reading a book required for my piano studio called "Talent is Overrated" by Geoff Colvin. I typically don't like to read though, unless it's Harry Potter.

Where is your favorite place to eat lunch? Chik-fil-A.

How has God encouraged you lately? God has hugely encouraged me by giving me an eternal perspective. I've always been one who cares way too much about the grades I get and how I can be the best at everything, because I've felt like they define me and my worth. But just recently I've come to a liberating understanding that as long as I continue to glorify God with my heart and my life, the grade I get on my philosophy exam doesn't matter, and is even being used for good and the glory of His kingdom. So no worries!
