“I. Hate. This. Dumb. Baby!” says four year old Erin Gingerich as she throws diapers at her newborn baby sister. Talking to her today, you would never imagine her having such a temper. Erin grew up in Southern Maryland in the town of La Plata. She lives there with both of her parents and her younger sister. When she’s not spending time with her family, friends or boyfriend, Erin’s attending classes at Frostburg State University. After getting to know her, you’ll see that there’s more to Erin than meets the eye. Erin attended La Plata High School where she ran cross country and was an editor for the school newspaper. She’s been involved with church her whole life which is why it should be no surprise that she is on the leadership team of the United Campus Ministries here at FSU. In her spare time, Erin enjoys doing photography and writing. She likes the idea of capturing life’s precious moments in something as small and simple as a picture. Her passion for writing seemed to come naturally being as though she has been writing since she was younger. It’s never been anything serious, just short stories or whatever pops into her head. Because of her passion for writing, Erin was initially going to be a part of the University of Maryland’s journalism program. After actually seeing the size of the school and the number of potential students, she felt a little intimidated and decided to go another route with her education. Although she is now a psychology major, Erin is still very much involved and interested in writing.
Music has always been a big part of Erin’s life. She took an orchestra class, where she played the violin; she also plays the acoustic guitar and would like to play the piano. When asked the question of what is her favorite song, Erin responded, with enthusiasm, by saying “It’s impossible for me to choose just one, I like so much music!” A part of her passion for music comes from her favorite artist and role model, Gavin DeGraw. His music style consists of blue-eyed soul, pop-rock, and rock. Erin says “I admire him because his music is so poetic and his voice is so soulful… I sing so I hope to be into music as much as he is.” Her favorite Gavin DeGraw song is “More Than Anyone”. She enjoys this song because it relates a lot to the way she feels about her own relationship with her boyfriend.
Erin lives her life freely and says “Everything happens for a reason and the way I am now, is how it’s supposed to be.”
