FRO Monologue
My name is Michelle, after “Michelle” on “Full House.” I’m from a small town on Long Island – where everybody knows everyone’s business. I’m at Baruch because I couldn’t afford Pratt Institute in Brooklyn – but I actually do like it here, even though I’m as far from the corporate business type as humanly possible. I want to be a writer and eventually move out to California to be with the mountains and the waves because I’ve always had a dream of moving out west.
Don’t laugh, I’m a world champion baton twirler, ranking 3rd in the world. I’ve been twirling since I’m 4 and still compete in solo events. I love preforming.
I also love music. Like, you have no idea. If I’m not listening to music, I’m reading a rock rag or a book on music or anything like that. Both of the tattoos I have are rock and roll inspired (which is my favorite genre, but I also have a love of Mississippi Delta Blues, 90s alternative and ska).
I try to live my life by something my favorite author, Jack Kerouac had once said: “Live, travel, adventure, bless, and don’t be sorry.”
