Haley Tripoli

Hello, beautiful people! My names Haley and I'm a dreamer and a student on an adventure here at Green Mountain College. I use to think that I had to have one dream, one goal, one vision for my future...but I don't quite look at it this way anymore! This is one reason why I love GMC. We are challenged... and then challenged again to look at the whole of a situation, and at the whole of ourselves. This small campus in Poultney, Vermont has no dearth of activities to be envolved in. The aesthetics of the Vermont landscape reflects accurately the innate goodness of the Vermont people...and I feel so lucky to be amongst them during this chapter of my life. I hope to work towards my Anthropology degree while staying involved in groups like: International Awareness club, Chess club, belly dancing, and balancing social life and work. Hopes for my future are to be stimulated by something I love and understand...something that gives back.

P.S. GMC students act as a network of bees, working in conjuction with eachother to keep the beehive alive and succulent...sustained and beautiful.

"The moment we choose to love we begin to move against domination, against oppression. The moment we choose to love we begin to move towards freedom, to act in ways that liberate ourselves and others. That action is the testimony of love as the practice of freedom."

Don't listen to those who say, "It's not done that way." Maybe it's not, butmaybe you will. Don't listen to those who say, "You're taking too big a chance."Michelangelo would have painted the Sistine floor, and it would surely be rubbedout by today. Most importantly, don't listen when the little voice of fear inside of you rears its ugly head and says, "They're all smarter than you out there. They're more talented, they're taller, blonder, prettier, luckier and have connections…" I firmly believe that if you follow a path that interests you, not to the exclusion of love, sensitivity, and cooperation with others, but with the strength of conviction that you can move others by your own efforts, and do not make success or failure the criteria by which you live, the chancesare you'll be a person worthy of your own respect.--Neil Simon
