Sherrie Mersdorf

 

Name: Sherrie Mersdorf

Hometown: Herndon, VA

Year: Junior

Program: Senior Connections

Where I would most like to visit?

Europe, France and Italy in particular

Hobbies / Interest:

I love reading. I've been playing fast-pitch softball for about half my life, so I really like coaching now that I'm too old to play.

What I want to do when I Graduate...

I'd really like to work in advertising. I love the creative aspect as well as the marketing involved.

Favorite Book:

If I have to pick just one, I'd say Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas by James Patterson or Gone With The Wind (don't watch the movie, read the book). I read so much, and love so many I feel like narrowing it down to two is cheating on all the other books I adore.

Favorite Movie:

I'd have to say anything Disney and Pride and Prejudice. My girls at home and I always have P&P marathons. Any movie that is six hours long is definitely a marathon. My English teacher told me one year that no girl should ever marry a guy that hates this movie, it's kind of stuck

Favorite Board Game:

Scrabble

If you were stranded on a desert island, name three things you would like to have...

Fail-proof communication, never-ending source of entertainment, and a boat so I could leave when I got tired of the Robinson Crusoe way of life
