I'm Destiny Simms, a Psychology major here at Loyola. I’m considering continuing my studies after Loyola in a counseling program. I work in the office for the Department of Languages and Cultures and plan on trying to stay there for my work study. I've moved around Louisiana most of my childhood but I spent most of it in New Orleans. I have way too many books to read and my desk in my dorm room is covered in them, but at the moment I'm reading the complete collection of Sherlock Holmes. I've been to Disney World fifteen times because my family loves going there and I don’t think that it will stop any time soon. Other than those vacations my family sometimes travels to different states throughout the United States. One of my ambitions in life is to have the chance to travel to different countries and learn as much as I can. I think other cultures can be fascinating and I would love to learn about the languages in those countries. I’m hoping that while I’m at Loyola I have the chance to study abroad more than once. I have a sister who is ten years younger than me and is still confused about why I’m going to college. I started watching anime as a first year in high school because a friend of mine finally convinced me to watch one, and soon I was hooked. The first one I watched was Death Note and I thought it was amazing. However, my favorite anime and manga series of all time would have to be Full Metal Alchemist. I thought the characters in it were interesting and the storyline was really complex and entertaining. I ended up attending the anime convention that took place in New Orleans and I really enjoyed it. I hope that I can find a way to attend the one that is taking place this upcoming fall. Since I got to Loyola I really haven’t had the time to watch anime as much as I use to, so I hope this class gives me the chance to watch more.

I also plan to study abroad as many times as possible while at Loyola, that is why I chose this school. Our life goal is the same and I hope that we are both successful in our venture to travel the globe for culture, language, and history. I am also majoring in psychology, what is your favorite kind? Mine is social psychology. My first anime was Sailor Moon, but I was very young and did not really know what was going on. I loved Death Note, I watched it two years ago, I liked every bit of it except for the very last episode where they let Light die like a little bitch that was scared of death- I hated that. I have not seen any of the anime we are going to be watching in class except for the films so I am just as exited for this class as you.
