Kennedy Beasley-Watson is a student at Mercyhurst University in Erie, Pennsylvania. She is a unique individual that I met through my Tabletop Gaming Club that meets every Monday evening from 7-10 PM. The club congregates at the Hirt Building for the purpose of meeting new people who are interested in playing games such as Scrabble, Dungeons and Dragons, and Uno. There are approximately 100 members in the club and I have to say that Kennedy is one of the most interesting people in the group.
She hails from Carnegie, Pennsylvania, a small community that is located near Pittsburgh and only about 130 miles from Erie. She graduated from Chartiers Valley High School where she didn’t play any sports and claims that she took life easy. Although she likes to be close to home, she did not choose Mercyhurst University solely because of its proximity to her hometown. Upon visiting the campus she found the environment with its nicely designed buildings and flower beds a beautiful place to continue her education. The people that she met on her visit were also a big factor in her decision to come to Mercyhurst. They were very friendly and made her feel at home.
She is currently a Freshman majoring in Geology and although she finds the course of study challenging, she is enjoying her classes and her experience at Mercyhurst.
Interestingly, Kennedy was actually born in Alaska but grew up in Pennsylvania. She probably feels right at home here in Erie because we probably get as much snow as Alaska. I mentioned earlier that she was a most interesting person. I say that because she is very outgoing in the Tabletop Club and a lot of fun to be with. When she filled out the fun fact portion of the interview she said that she has just one kidney. I suppose that could be a fun fact.
