Page 4 Arts & Life The Clarion | April 27, 2012 By Josh Mower staff Writer Musician, athlete, student leader. International student, and super senior, Jarred Fisher (23) has finally reached his ninth and final semester. Fisher has earned numerous leadership roles such as standing as an SGA senator for 3 years, collaborating with the nurse’s office, planning events with CAB and briefly tutoring in the AEC. He is currently an RA in Beam, has worked 2 years with Welcome Week (“Best time of my LIFE!”) and was awarded the Men’s MVP for tennis in 2009. Being a native of South Africa, Fisher enjoys the life of citizenship back home with both his parents and younger brother (21) just as much as here. “1 worked back home, hung out with friends in the city, and we cooked-out all the time.” Not to mention the sports. “Beer and rugby ... makes a perfect day,” says Jarred Fisher. Fisher also mentioned his compassion for others, most especially for freshmen. He makes it his goal to give incoming freshmen the best experiences they could get: “I just don’t want anyone to have the experience I did... being an international student is no easy transition. This place felt like a prison...the beds were hard, the walls were white, and all I did was wait for class.” Having an RA who didn’t help and not having anyone to give him advice was not a great freshman experience. “I want to give freshmen what I didn’t get,” Fisher says. He is an RA in Beam where he believes he has done his duties properly. “My boys and I have such a good unity on the hallway, now I just try to get them involved on campus.” Fisher feels confident in the freshmen he has worked with and feels that he has done something right when he sees the interactions between them all. Fisher’s plans involve using his Health Science major to work as a physical trainer next year in New York City, after he hopes to receive his licensure as a Physician’s Assistant. With a final note to freshmen to come Fisher requests that they know the basics of college: “don’t get caught up in too much drama, know your morals and learn techniques for the real life afterwards.” But most importantly would be Fisher’s personal quote of: “Carpe Diem... But only on the weekend!” Well done and so long Jarred Fisher, Brevard will not be the same without you. By Cassie Smatana staff Writer SPRINGFEST is here, Saturday April 28.
