Stranger Danger

I set out to find two strangers who would let me take a picture of them. I headed to Lewis Hall and found myself in Stacie Hays’ office. Stacie is a Career Counselor in the Guidance Office. Stacie is roughly the same height as me. She has a very petite frame, but she still has an athletic build. She has dark hair that covers her shoulders and very kind eyes. She was wearing a navy blue athletic jacket and khaki pants. I told Stacie about my assignment and asked if she would be willing to help me. She said sure and then set out to Shari Benson’s office.

Shari Benson, who is the Director of New Students, is all smiles. Stacie lightly knocked on the door leading into Shari’s office and politely asked if she would be willing to take a picture with her. Shari rose from her chair, which revealed the rest of the blue fun print on her jacket and her knee length mint green skirt. Stacie walked around the circular table in Shari’s room and put her arm around Shari’s waist. My phone was already in my hands, so it took only a few seconds to snap the picture.

As other students started to funnel into the Guidance Office asking for other random favors. We stood and chatted with Shari about Pinterest. Shari explained that she was a Pinterest addict. She said, “Last night I was pinning, pinning, pinning!”

    Nicely done, Lauren. Fashion-focused. What does Stacie’s voice sound like?
