A Little Bit about Myself

Hello my name is Rhiannon Flanagan-Rosario. I am a first year Biomedical Engineering Major with a minor in Spanish. I am from Evanston Illinois, a suburb just north of Chicago. I love to travel, when I am so fortunate enough to do so. I hope to study abroad in the Ecuador LBAT program this summer, where I will be immersed in the Spanish Language and culture. I enjoy running a lot, I was on the track and Cross Country team in high school and I am a member of the Women’s Distance team here at Tech. I have one sibling, an older brother who attends the University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana, majoring in Computer Science. I also have a pet fish back at home who is named Bruce Wayne. My parents raised me to be a well-rounded individual, and so growing up I have tried numerous activities. I’ve played 3 different instruments (each for multiple years), and about 9 different sports. Because of my vast exposure to many things, I have become a very curious, open-minded person. This characteristic is transferred to when I am reading poetry as well. I try to think of the many meanings of a poem, and I am always curious about what the author intended the poem to convey. I have taken poetry units in high school English classes, but never a poetry-specific course. I am eager to receive a more focused education on poetry in this class.
