My customer avatar's name is Anna. She is a second-year pre-med biology major at the University of Florida. Her hobbies are volleyball, video games, and drawing. She loves watching Grey's Anatomy on her free time. Otherwise, she is studying almost non-stop. She very rarely goes out with friends either because of the intensity of her courses. She drives a scooter because she can't afford a car. Anna is at UF on the Bright Futures Scholarship for her tuition and Florida Pre-Paid for her housing costs. Therefore, she will be gradating with no debt from undergrad. Anna also works part-time at the Swamp Restaurant to cover her basic living expenses while she is away, so she can learn to be financially independent from her parents. Anna's GPA is currently at a 3.4, which isn't terrible considering how difficult her major is, however, it is still not high enough for medical school admission. Anna spends money on secondary study resources such as Smokin' Notes and Study Edge because she is struggling in her Chem 2 and Bio 2 Classes. She would prefer if she just spent that money on other things, however getting into med school is her priority. Her dream is to become an OBGYN after medical school.

What I have in common with my avatar is that I am a student at the University of Florida. Just like her, I dedicate a lot of my time studying for my classes so I can make sure I have a high GPA by the time I apply to law school. I am also on a Bright Futures Scholarship as well. I will say Anna has it harder than me though because I don't believe my classes are as hard as hers because I'm a Political Science major. However, I am able to empathize with her because there have been cases in my undergraduate career so far that a point away from an A or A- has led to a significant decrease in my GPA. The things we do have in common I don't believe is a coincidence because my opportunity mostly targets individuals like me.
