Trojan Candy saw one of our TGLA Scholars put on a yellow apron and start to volunteer. Naturally, I went over to meet Ariel Rezazadeh, take her picture and interview her.

Ariel majored in Business. Her emphasis is Marketing and Entertainment. She told me that her brother also earned an MBA in business. For hobbies, Ariel likes to weightlift. For P.R. entertainment, she likes to help out at movie premieres. Ariel's favorite food is sushi. For favorite movie, Ariel likes any movie from the 50's and 60's. "Breakfast at Tiffany's" is one of her favorites. Ariel likes music from the 50's, 70's and 80's. One of her favorite artists is Phil Collins. So nice to meet you and FIGHT ON, Ariel!

I stepped out of the TGLA booth for a little while to take pictures at the USC Athletic booth next to our TGLA Booth. USC Men's Basketball players were signing posters. I had them sign posters for my grandsons, Zane and Kane.

After Trojan Candy's booth shift was over, my husband Jim and I walked around looking at other booths. I saw Carol Fox and her son Chris Fox.
