'''John R. Kershner''', UIF Fall 2017
Mechanical Engineering and German Minor, York College of PA '20[[File:4.18 headshot small.JPG|thumb|4.18 headshot small.JPG]]
Hello all! I’m John. In addition to having major X and minor Yacademics, I am very involved at school. I am a Graham Innovation Scholar, Student Senator, and Orientation Leader. I’ve played sax in the jazz band, and currently play string bass in the college's community orchestra.
Growing up in Reading, PA, I was lucky to have passionate teachers who instilled a love of science and math in me at a young age. I’m forever thankful for Mrs. Lorah who taught me algebra, and forced me to join a science competition in 6<sup>th</sup> grade! This sparked my love for math and science, which continued through high school. Like any true nerd, physics and calculus were classes that I loved.
In my spare time, I practice German, talk about travel, take pictures, eat chocolate, and practice mindfulness! Language learning has opened so many doors in my life. Currently, I’m starting to apply for co-ops, and hopefully next summer I’ll be working in Germany. Travel to Europe in previous summers has created never-ending Wanderlust in me, and an interest to learn another language. So now I’m taking a Spanish 101, and boy is learning a language from scratch a humbling experience.
