Jillian Bush
Name, major, minor - Jillian Bush- History Major with a Public History Minor Plans after graduation -To get a good job hopefully in my field of study, but if not that’s okay too. And then to get married to the love of my life Simon and start a family! Years worked at the Phonathon- 4 Years All-time favorite Phonathon moment - Watching Matt Shields do a small scene from Mommy Dearest! Best/most valuable Phonathon moment- Again there are so many it's hard to choose....I would have to say that I have two. My freshman year when I sat beside my sister when I made my first call, because she really helped me to not feel nervous and was very supportive of me. And my second would be my senior year when I got to sit beside and work with my Fiancé...who had been living 5000 miles away it was a dream come true Best/most memorable call- My most memorable call was my freshman year when I called looking for the son, and the elderly father talked to me because he was lonely and told me to work hard for the next four years and graduate, and that if I was ever near his house that he would take me out to dinner and buy me the biggest and best steak of my life! He was a really sweet old man! Words of wisdom for future callers- Don't take things personal on the phone, because the good calls will always outweigh the bad ones. Best prize you won at Phonathon- You know I'm not really sure, I won a lot of great prizes at Phonathon so it's hard to pick one...plus I don't remember what I may have won four years ago. Well I have to say the time I won stuff from Starbucks! And when I won gift certificates! :-) One thing you will miss not being a caller- I will miss being a data-enterer because it was fun work and I liked spending time with the Phonathon family and talking to Alicia! Favorite food at Phonathon- Cheesecake (when we celebrated birthdays) or Cheez-It crackers.
