Fun fact about Charlotte: I recieved the Most Talkative superlative my senior year of high school.

Favorite THON memory: I never knew what THON was until coming to Penn State as a freshman.  I heard all year how it was more than an event, more than just a dance marathon, and it wasn't until I was on the floor with my committee right before stand-up on Friday that I understood this.  As the dancers were on the ground stretching for the weekend ahead, a few kids were running around between a group in front of me. They were laughing as the "big kids" played with them and as the parents looked on, a chant of "FTK" was started by a small group in the stands and it overtook the BJC, with everyone joining in.  It was then that I saw with my own eyes that this was not just a test of strength for the 708 dancers, but a celebration of these kids' and these families' strength.
