Tierra Washington:Social Butterfly
By Amanda Yates ENGL 336.001



Tierra Washington, born and raised in The District of Columbia is a classy lady who loves to talk. She appeared to the interview confident, professionally dressed, and detailed with bright red lipstick and well manicured hands. She is the second to youngest of four sisters and one brother. When asked to comment on her family, she remarked with laughter that her family is "Real open and not serious at all." She also commented that Christmas is her favorite holiday to celebrate because she loves "Seeing the facial expressions when people open their gifts."
A friend of four years to Tierra commented that Tierra is a very hardworking person. Currently she studies Mass Communication and Public Relations here at Frostburg State University. She aspires to be the "spokesperson for an enormous company!" one day because she views herself as being a great public speaker. She has worked as an administrative aid to the Vice President at The University of Maryland, as well as a blogger for the school. She described the job as a "Great experience!" She also commented the job allowed her to meet President of the United States, Barack Obama.
With her accomplishments she wishes for it all to pay off in a modern sized house with no basement, a garden, and hanging flower pots.
In Tierra’s spare time she likes to enjoy the company of her best friend, watch football and go out on the town. She loves to talk, swim, dance and give advice (though she says her friends do not take the advice). When asked what she felt passionate about she said “I am passionate about my life really cuz I have so many dreams and goals, and my family has a lot of failures and I do not want to be one.” When asked if she can play sports well she commented that she “suck(s) at every sport I ever tried to play in my life”. However, she did comment that she loves to watch football and her favorite team is the Cowboys.The Cowboys fan page can be viewed here http://www.dallascowboys.com/team/schedule.cfm
Speaking of favorites, she loves loaded mashed potatoes and pasta. She also loves to treat herself to cupcakes at “Cake Love”, which items can be viewed here http://www.cakelove.com/ . To relax she will read a book, and sip on pink lemonade. When it comes to entertainment, she loves to watch her favorite television show, “Single ladies”, or her favorite movie, “Step Brothers”.
Her best friend Clarissa says Tierra has been a really good and loyal friend to her. She says Tierra is a happy girl and is pretty like Barbie because she is independent and girly. With all of the positive notes on Tierra there had to be some dirt, so her friend divulged that Tierra’s weaknesses are that she cannot manage money well and that she gets too emotional. Aside from the aforementioned Clarissa states that she is glad to have a friend like Tierra Washington.
When she completes college and starts her career she wishes to live in a modern sized house with no basement or pets, a garden, and hanging flower pots. After she is well established she wishes to raise three children and be of help to people. For enjoyment as an adult she wants to travel, especially to Bora Bora, and maybe even retire there.
