Hey all,
My name is Mercedes- and no I was not named after the car. My name is Spanish. Believe it or not I am half Hispanic, and then have a bunch of other ethnicities thrown in. I have 8 siblings although I only grew up with three of them. I was born and raised here in the islands, but I look like I’m from Cali. I love Hawaii and never want to leave. I have a dog and a bunny. I love animals especially turtles. I don’t know why but they are, by far, my favorite animal. I work three jobs so I am very very busy. I like to travel. I have a black belt in Tae Kwon Do so you’d better stay in line, nah just kidding. 
I’m a psychology major. I also work as an academic advisor in Manoa Advising Center. You are welcome to visit me there with any school-related questions you might have.
I shouldn’t acutally summer is here seeing as, technically there is still one more week of school. Oh well, I will anyway. I hope you all have a wonderful summer and I will see you in August!!!
Lots of Love,
Mercedes
Hello everyone!
My name is Michelle Lam and I am an upcoming senior majoring in Travel Industry Management in Fall 2009. I am sooooo excited to have been chosen as an ACE Peer Mentor!!! I’ve been to four different college institutions since high school so I feel that I know how to deal with transition pretty darn well haha. By being a peer mentor, I hope to help freshmen find their way around a college campus and all it has to offer. Compared to the other ACE Mentors, I am fairly new to UH Manoa since I am just completing my second semester here so I hope to learn and grow with my freshmen cluster.
Here is a wee bit about myself…I am exteremly easily amused. It’s kind of a good because the simple things can make me smile! I love to eat! It has been proven that if there is food in front of me, I’ll eat it. I work hard and play hard. When I’m not at school or work, I love going shopping, eating, hiking, clubbing, and to the beach! The beach part is a little hard to believe since I am like the fairest person on this island. Life is short, have FUN!
Anyhoo, I can’t wait to meet you guys in the Fall. It should be a fun semester! Have a great summer, everyone!
♥, Michelle
