Welcome to my web page! My name is Meredith Cunningham and I am a senior journalism major at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I am a native of North Carolina from the small town of Marion which is located in the western part of the state. I will graduate in December 2002 and am not exactly sure what will come next. I have a mixed bag of ideas at the moment, none of which resemble any permanent career plans. I will be applying to the Peace Corps and Teach for America in addition to a number of other non-profit organizations.

I was raised in a family tree with many branchs. My mother and one of the biggest influences in my life, lives in Asheville, NC. My grandmother recently moved there from Mississippi to be closer to us. My father and his wife live in Butzbach, Germany as of a year ago, following his decision to join the Army. My brother and one of the best people I know, is here with me at UNC. He will graduate in May 2003 and most likely go on the medical school. My step-sister, Brianne, will graduate from East Carolina University in December 2002, but unlike me she has a plan; she will begin teaching first grade in LeGrange, NC. And finally, Ryan, my step-brother also recently joined the Army and is stationed in Louisiana.

I have a number of hobbies that I irregularly indulge in depending upon how busy I am. The most recent of which is golf. I went to a golf tournament with my boyfriend and discovered that I actually found it to be fun. I am a recovering gym rat though I still love to go whenever time permits. Studio cycling is perhaps one of my favorite activities, so much so that I decided to become an instructor. One day, after school, I hope to get involved in fitness competitions. Reading for pleasure is one of my favorite past times, which is one thing that I really look forward to after graduation.
