Q: Name someone (living) you would want to switch places with for a day?
A: Many people may not think of Chrissy Teigan as a traditional role model, but I admire the way she lives her life. She takes pride in her passions, which include motherhood, cooking and political issues, but she also makes time to relax and have fun. She isn't afraid to share her honest opinions on social media, which I think is a great way to use her platform for good. Experiencing a day in her life would give me a great idea of what it's like to be a strong female in today's world.

A: I want to major in something relating to science or public policy/political science that will lead me to a career in which I can help others while also enjoying the work I'm doing.
