        For our 2nd informational interview Kayla and I spoke with Adrianna Davis, our boss and Passion Impact’s High School Program coordinator. Adrianna was born and raised in Portland, OR. Growing up Adrianna did a lot of sports, she has played soccer, basketball, track, rugby, and also gymnastics. She left high school with a 4.0 gpa and entered OSU with an interest for forensic science. One of the big tips Adrianna gave us was to check what classes the university you're interested in offers so you don’t enter college clueless and behind. All throughout Adrianna’s life she has considered herself the underdog which made going to OSU an even clearer choice for her. One of my biggest takeaways from this Informational Interview was Adrianna’s personal growth. All 4 years of high school Adrianna felt she was hiding her true self and floated through her years not feeling in place or happy. Starting her college life at OSU, Adrianna felt somewhat better but nowhere near her true self. Near the end of her time at OSU she met a good group of friends who helped her not only come out but also to be her authentic self. Since her time at OSU, Adrianna has lived in LA where she spent her days at an elementary school as an after school program coordinator with adorable yet very rebellious and ridiculously rich little kids and her nights at concerts fully living in the moment. Currently Adrianna Davis is back in Portland and lives her everyday life unapologetically and her most authentic self while working at Passion Impact and somewhat secretly being a super athlete!
