Ashley Prosenak Eastern Connecticut Sophmore 19 years old

Born in Bridgeport Hospital lived in Stratford, CT my entire life.

I lived with my mom Cindy and dad Andrew in the same house for 19 years, my mom passed away last year so now it is just me and my dad.

I am half Slovenian from my dads side, and am a mutt of Swedish, Polish, English from my moms side

Family is an important part of my life, I treat my friends as though they are family as well. I try to be involved and stay in touch with my family as much as I can. I would do anything for those who are like family to me.

I wish that I could learn German. Slovenian is a dying language, so it’d be nice to learn German and be able to talk to family over in Europe.

I enjoy baking and want to learn how to cook more, this summer my grandparents on my dads side taught me how to make some Slovenian dishes.

I used to do Indian Princesses with my dad, because of that me and my dad have always had a very close relationship, I absolutely love camping and love seeing new sights out in nature, especially the stars.

I love dogs, and have had one from when I was born up to this summer.

Winter is my favorite season. I love snow, snowboarding and Christmas.

My favorite color is blue, I especially love wearing it because it brings out my eyes.

Music is a huge part of my life. Whether it was listening to music with my dad, in choir, in musicals or just on my own.

I love anything Disney, my dream is to work one summer in Disney World as a Disney Princess.

I love going on long car rides, airplane rides and traveling.

The only place I have been outside of the country was Bermuda, on a cruise. Although I didn’t see a lot I did learn quickly how different the island life was from mine here in the U.S

I have played soccer since kindergarten, being a starter all four years on my Stratford high school team. I now play co-ed intermural soccer here at Eastern.

I am a Patriots fan

Ever since I was little I have wanted to be a teacher and that is exactly what I am going to do. I am a Psychology and Early Childhood Education Major here at Eastern.

I am in the education club here at Eastern and I am determined to get involved and volunteer this year at local schools or daycares. I volunteered in a summer daycare in my local town at an elementry school. I worked with kids with disabilities and made progress with a little boy who was a selective mute. I love helping children, it makes me happy.

I can’t wait to go to Jamaica!
