Interviewing My Sister
College changes the lives of many, whether it’s from the memories you make, or the things you learn. My oldest sister, Aiyana Ooki, is currently in her second year of graduate school.

She made a lot of friends in school so far, and she still hangs out with them once in awhile, including her friends from high school. During school, she worked at University housing, the zoo, and the Dean’s office. She scheduled classes around her work schedule, and socialized during weekends. During summer, she did an internship at Walgreens Pharmacy to learn
