Who is Hillary Martin?

by Geoff Krasley-Lawhorne

Hillary Martin was born to Nevada and Karen Martin in Falls Church, Virginia. She has since moved to Temple Hills, Maryland. She has nine siblings, three brothers, Nevada Jr., Martinez, and Carlito, and six sisters, named Candace, Savannah, Autumn, Sarah, Claire, and Haylie.

She is a sophomore at Frostburg State University, and she takes her studies seriously. Hillary considers it her greatest achievement that she was able to keep a 3.4 GPA the last two semesters, saying “I didn’t find college easy”. She is not currently involved in any activities or clubs on campus, instead choosing to focus on her intended dual major of Business and English with a concentration in creative writing. When she is relaxing, she enjoys writing and hanging out with her friends, as well as the occasional romance or mystery novel. She also enjoys watching the shows “The Game” and “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” on the television.

Family is also an important part of Hillary’s life. When I asked her what her greatest adventure in her life so far had been, she said it was “coming to Frostburg, because it was my first time alone. I had no friends up here and I’m usually with one of my sisters. But here, I had to adjust to making new friends and be a little more outgoing than usual.” This closeness with her family is important, but she was able to view this change in her routine as an adventure, rather than an inconvenience or as a frightening experience.

After graduating, Hillary would like to write for, and possibly eventually own, a small magazine or newspaper business, although she is carefully monitoring the decline in printed media and considering her options. She is also interested in travel, and said that if she could live anywhere in the world, she might like Paris, France.

She is not generally interested in politics, though she feels that the ongoing war in Afghanistan and the slow recovery of the economy at home are serious issues. She feels that President Obama has done the best he could in his situation, and she would support him against most if not all Republican challengers if a vote was held today.

Hillary loves puppies, and distrusts cats. She also dislikes loud people who need to be the center of attention, people with dirty fingernails, and the sound of nails on a chalkboard. Furthermore, she is cautious of germs and illness, which is a good concern to have in a college environment. The support of her family and her new friends will no doubt be of great value as she continues her college career.
