My name is Samantha Roche. I was born in Massachusetts but raised in a little town in New Hampshire. My life isn’t that exciting of a story. Ever since I was little, I had a very strong love of books and you could always find me with one. That continued to follow me up until now, where under my desk in my dorm room, I have a stack of books that I am currently making my way through. Other than that, I really never did anything. I tried a few sports here and there but found I wasn’t very athletic nor was I that interested in sports. In high school, I found a sport that I was actually pretty good at, lacrosse. Who knew the person who was incredibly uncoordinated and couldn’t run to save her life, would end up being the captain of the varsity team. This was about as social as I got. Making friends was and is very hard for me so I was usually very alone. In college though, I have forced myself to be a lot more open and to talk to people even if I don’t know them. The reason I decided to come to this school, other than the fact that I got a pretty good scholarship, was when I first came here for orientation, I fell in love with the campus. Everything about it was so peaceful and exactly the setting that I wanted to live in. That brings me to now.
