Gabrielle Caumon is a senior from Paris, France, who is pursuing a major in the BFA Acting program and a minor in Journalism. This is her second year writing for “Hilltop Views” and her second semester as the Life & Arts Editor.  Always enthusiastic about discovering different facets of journalism, she is very grateful for this opportunity and the trust that has been placed in her. Gabrielle’s journey was shaped by the challenges she has encountered in a foreign language, and hopes to bring something new by the benefits of her bicultural perspective!

“I know they don't give a damn about me,” Ramon Curry (left) said. “I'm like a spider. You ain't never heard nobody say, ‘Hey, anybody see a spider?’ What are they gonna do about it? Step on it because nobody gives a damn about you stepping on a spider. I'm a spider. I understand that. But you, you are not a spider. You are a Pomeranian. They care about (you). This is why your voice can become important, right? Because they care about you. So you can be the ones that say, ‘We got to care about the spider too.’ Don’t just step on the spider. Because spiders got a purpose – I got a purpose too.”
