Mollie ShannonMy name is Mollie Shannon and I am a senior at the University of Oregon.  I was born in California, however I mainly grew up in Oregon City, OR.  I attended Oregon City High School and did multiple sports throughout my life.  I was a gymnast, an Irish dancer and I ran track.  Here at the University of Oregon I am a double major in Psychology and Journalism.  I really enjoy both and hope to pursue a career that combines two.  I have been interested in becoming a teacher for many years so I have always had an interest in the education system.  I chose to do my project on the current state of health in schools, including both nutrition and physical education.  This project is important to me and to the community, as education affects everyone.
