CAMPBELL, roma cadice nadine, senior

roma cadice nadine campbell


thank you, roma cadice n. campbell, for showing interest in ellison academy.
after contacting your previous school, we here in the admissions office have
decided to offer you admission for the 2009-2010 academic year. however,
first we’d like to make sure that you meet our high standards for enrolment
in the academy. we have scheduled an interview for you on november 3, 2009.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

welcome, roma. this interview is basically to learn a little about you
and your personality. here at ellison academy, we like to stimulate the creative
side of your mind - really make you think and come up with inventive and
detailed answers. come in and take a seat. now, tell me a little about yourself.

tell me baby, what’s your story?
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
how about we start with your full name. do you like it?
does it have any special meaning to you or your family?
my full name is roma cadice nadine campbell. i actually love my name. it's so special and different, i mean, it's like nothing else in the world. each part of my name means something different and of special meaning. my first name, roma, means "from rome," the reason that the meaning is important is because rome is where my parents met. it's such a romantic place and the name is romantic, it fits perfectly for me. i mean, i'm not from rome, but i am as romantic as my first name implies, if you know the meaning. my middle names, cadice and nadine are the names of two of my parents' very good family friends, both of whom were killed in a plane crash. they believe that naming me after cadice and nadine, two very beautiful and intelligent women, then i will be watched over by them and grow up to be the same way, and that they will guide me. that would actually be a gift, i never knew them, but they are very important to me and to be their namesake is amazing. my last name campbell is not so beautiful but it has history to it. campbell is of scottish origin and roughly translates to "crooked mouth" in gaelic. the campbell clan was one of the most hated clans in scotland, since they betrayed the highlanders...or something. it's a really long story, but i love its thick amount of history behind it. oh yeah, but people call me rommie or rommy.


so, when is your birthday? would you rather have been
born on a different date or time of year?
i was born on october 24, 1992, which means that i am 15 years old, of course, but i'll be sixteen soon. i don't really want to be born on any other point on the year, i mean, being born so close to halloween means that all of my parties can be costum parties and who doesn't love those, right? besides i love the fall, it's so crisp and nice, without too much heat or too much cool, it's just the right mixture of the perfect temperatures. i love my birthday, so much, october is such a mysterious month, i love it so much! i mean if i had to choose another month i'd choose august, i mean, it gets no love whatsoever, i love august, the lovely bridge between summer and fall.


can you tell me a little about your home life? where were
you born? have you moved at all since you were born?
i was born in chapel hill, but as soon as i was born , my parents decided to move away. they didn't like the small town quiet of chapel hill, so we ended up moving to new york, but they didn't like the business so we ended up moving to seattle, it's such a beautiful place, i must admit. but somehow before my freshman year we ended up moving back to chapel hill.

how about your family - your parents, any brothers and
sisters? did you have a good childhood?
i have a large family, a dad, three moms, two twin sisters, an olders sister, and a little brother...oh yeah, i have three moms. it's a long story that goes something like this. when i was five and we had been living in seattle for about three years, it turns out that my father was cheating on my mother with his secretary (because that isn't cliched at all). well anyway, my mother found out and she revealed that she was cheating on him with a woman. later my parents divorced and married to their mistresses, i guess you could say. they all get along, though so it's a harmonious thing. my mother's name is mindy coraline hayes-campbell remington, my step-mother and my mother's wife's name is wendaline gwenyvere hayes-remington. wendy, as i call her, was in the same predicament as my mom and has a daughter from her previous marriage who is 21, her name is cheryl, she's getting married next year. my father's name is arnold marvin campbell and his wife's name is carrie marla campbell, she''s never been married before. we often take family trips together, and do family things. i used to only have one sibling, not biological of course, but now both my step-mother's gave birth this year, my mom's wife had new twins, bridgette and jeffrey and my dad's wife gave birth to a son. so i live with my moms, right now, who decided to move back to chapel hill. my childhood was pretty interesting, if you couldn't tell, though it took a while to comprehend circumstances like that. it also took awhile for parents to think it was alright to let their children play with me at my house, for some reason people think that lesbianism spread and that i would be making out with their daughters or something, that's the kind of thing i had to deal with and still do now.

high school never ends

we'll continue with some academics.
what grade do you plan on enrolling into at ellison?
umm, this year, i plan on enrolling as a senior

can you give me a list of, oh, say nine classes you'd like
to be placed in for the semester?
Sure, so classes....classes, that would be
ap calculus bc
ap language and composition
global history
ap biology
italian ap
lunch
chorus
photography
art history

how about sports? plan on representing the black and
gold on the field?
sure, i mean my coordination is fine, so why not. i plan on playing field hockey, lacrosse, soccer, softball, tennis, volleyball and gymnastics. well maybe not all of them, but gymnastics, volleyball and lacrosse...maybe?


or are you not the athletic type? maybe a club or two?
clubs...clubs...clubs. hmm, i think i'd join the drama club, the school newspaper, the debate team and the competition and varsity cheerleading squads, along with the rotary interact.

it’s all about you
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
now, a little about you - i want you to be as honest as
you can in this section.
tell me about your personality - how do you react around
others and such? give me around three paragraphs
worth of "you".
i'm a girly-girl, it's been that way since the day i was born and i wouldn't change that for a thing. i'm a bit high-maintenance. ok, so i'm very high-maintenance, not that i'm at all ashamed of it. so what it takes a lot to make me happy, get over it! sorry, i mean, i've always needed a little extra and i do have very high expectations of people, but that's their problem that they can't meet my expectations. i have very firm opinions and i am not afraid to voice, them especially when it concerns someone's hair, clothes or physical appearance. i guess i'm superficial, i mean, i don't believe that beauty is only skin deep, there's so much more to it on the surface and i am very concerned with my outward appearance, always feeling the need to make myself appear pretty much perfect.

ok, so another huge portion of myself is dedicated to definitely finding myself. i know it sounds lame and i should have it figured out by now, but i don't. i mean, i know i'm the stereotypical bitchy girly girl, but i really don't think that's what i want for the rest of my life, i mean does anyone? the only problem is that i really don't understand how to change my reputation and my personality now that it's pretty much set in stone. but people should know that i'm not as bad as everyone thinks, i'm not as bitchy as a high-maintenance girl should be. i mean yeah, i give a lot of empty compliments and say things that may be compliments or insults and can run both ways. but that doesn't really mean anything, anyone can do that. sure i'm a bit shallow but i believe it's more misunderstood.

i'm a bit of a drama queen. i stretch things out to be bigger than what they actually should be, even though i prefer the term 'exaggerations'. i think that lying a bit makes everything more interesting which is why i often tell lies about my own life. i am a bit of a jack of all trades. i can't do everything, but i can try my best. i can fix a flat tire and sew the wholes in a shirt back together, but that's just who i am. i'm in love with trying new things and there really isn't a lot that i'm not willing to do. i'm a thrill-seeker, that's for sure, but i am scared of a lot of things. i'm a closet nerd and even though i will never let people know, things like books, schoolwork and technology interest me, i manage to keep straight A's and i am a bit of a teacher's pet. i am also a story-teller, not a liar, i don't lie, i just tell stories about my life that make it seem more exciting. it's not actually called lying if you use it like that. sometimes when the truth is boring, i prefer to make things up.

if you had to place yourself in a stereotypical clique,
who would you be with? the jocks, perhaps? or maybe
the drama troupe?
the preps and the drama troupe. i guess i'd be an a-lister...haha, i know i'd be an a-lister.

any interesting hobbies? how do you like to spend
your free time?
i spend my free time taking pictures and putting them on my accounts on various social networking sites, writing random things, shopping, e-mailing my family, going out, styling my hair, thinking up new outfits, trying out various random things and reading.

how about some things that you like - anything that
makes you really happy. it could be your favorite food,
places you like to go on vacation, kinds of movies you
like to watch.
i love animals, salads with or without vegetables, seafood, gumbo, comedies, the bahamas, paris, milan, mardi gras, halloween, cooking, frozen yogurt, sushi, gelato, ice cream, surfing the web, playing the sims, eating, japanese food, curry, indian food, thai food, italian food, any kind of food, listening to music, shopping, taking pictures of people, taking pictures of myself, reading, acting, dolphins, monkies, pigs, birds, caramel, gold, silver, designer clothes, clothes, in general, books, literature, shoes, jewelry, cranberries, blueberries, white chocolate, avacadoes, european chocolate, french food, other cultures, history, stuffed animals, heels, boots, charm bracelents, her family, talking to people, trying new things, scuba diving, bungee jumping, playing sports


now, tell me about some things that you don’t like -
things that make you angry and upset, bothered even.
it could be anything really - from politics to food.
i hate the color gray, people who think that just because my parents are lesbian that i am too, people who get in my way, people who laugh at me, people who can't laugh at themselves, gossipers, boredom, spinning for long periods of time, rollercoasters, airplanes, republicans, goulash, any food made from dog, cat, rabbit, or monkey, when cabs don't stop, when people interrupt me, not getting attention when i want it, putting on a play with no standing ovation, itchy fabric, when people can't take a joke, uptight people, spoiled girls and boyfriend theives..

so, how about your fears? anything that scares
you unconditionally?
of course there is, i mean, if you're not scared of anything, your crazy. i'm scared of lightning and thunder, i just can't stand it at all. i also really hate loud noises so much you wouldn't understand. bugs are disgusting and spiders are even worse. i'm deathly scared of bees, and bats also. i really get freaked out around fire and i scream really loudly whenever i see blood or needles.


what are your expectations for life? do you have
anything in particular that you’d like to accomplish
throughout your life?
well, i of course want to go to college, in fact, i really want to go stanford, nyu or stratton university, i'm not sure which, but i would also love to work an internship at a magazine company, preferrably one like seventeen or cosmo girl. then after i graduate, i want to get a job as a writer for a magazine and later on make my own magazine...or, i want to act, i'm not sure which one is better for me, i mean, it would be more clear to choose the path to the magazine e-i-c, but i really do want to act, though the papparazzi would kill me.


run your hands through your hair
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
tell me a little about your general appearance. i
assume business casual isn’t your normal attire,
so describe to me your style - things you like to
wear and such.
well my normal attire is major labels to designer clothing. i also love wearing skirts. i do love to think of myself as a trend-setter though and out of uniform, i love wearing clothese that were inspired by characters for movies, plays, and books. i also love to wear modern takes on clothes worn in a specific period of time. i also really love to wear my take on international styles, things that one else would wear but me, no matter the occassion, i always have to look my best, it doesn't really matter. my outfits always have a theme to them, even if you can't really tell. i do often wear brands like hollister, abercrombie, etc., but i love juicy couture, chanel, anything designer chic. i wear a lot of skirts, since i love to show off my legs and i wear belts a lot of the time, since they are the most amazing accessory.


have you ever dyed your hair before? gotten any
piercings recently? any destinct characteristics?
i've dyed my hair, my hair is originally a blondish color, but sometimes it looks darker, like a really dark brown kind of color, but otherwise, i don't really put chemicals in my hair. i have my ears double pierced but i haven't gotten piercings anywhere else and because i am scared of needles i have no tatoos. i do have a birthmark on my lower back. i have three scars: one by my eye, the other on my leg and one on my cheek. another few of my distinct characteristics is my hair, that is always in amazing shape, my great smile and my distinct voice, it's kind of like a british, french, new york, california girl kind of thing going on that isn't as bad as it sounds and my laugh which is kind of a giggle but not as high pitched.



has anyone ever told you you look like a celebrity?
some similar resemblance to an actor or actress
perhaps?
people keep telling me that i have a resemblance to emma watson. but come on, i'm gorgeous, but not that gorgeous.


just say what’s on your mind
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
now for a few fun questions.
if you had to be an ice cream flavor, what flavor
would you be and why?
i'd be cherry chocolate chip. It's the perfect blend of sweet vanilla ice cream, tart but almost sweet cherries and semi-sweet chocolate chips. it's not the sweetest ice cream flavor ever but you'll definitely remember it and you'll always want more.


what’s your favorite color? any particular reason?
my favorite color is royal blue. it's such a strong color, it's one of a great deal of tradition and it looks so sophisticated. it's amazing in clothes and just as a color by itself, it's amazing. it's not really too bright, but it's more mysterious than the rest of the colors.

tell me something no one else knows about you -
whether it’s a deep secretor just a little known
fact. i promise it won’t get out.
i am a closet nerd

describe yourself in three words.
confused, bitchy, girly

now, give me something that describes your
life. like, lyrics to a song, or a quote. this will
be, well, we'll call it your member title.
