Joye Charlotte Lehen is my name and a complicated one too. I’m from a little town called Lee Vining in the Eastern Sierra Mountains. Being at Pitzer College allows me to connect more to my Native American culture and it enables me to explore further outside my comfort zone while in my everyday life; I’m isolated within those mountains. This pipeline is good for me and my future to help me see inside behind the college life while all at the same time, I can goof off and have fun making new friends. This new environment makes the journey even more adventurous and exciting and I can’t wait to see what the next day and week has in store for me.
As you probably have guessed, I’m quite the adventurous person and I don’t like things to be boring. Although my thirst for an exciting journey is ravenous, I could be a quiet and shy person. I at times laugh at the idea of my mixture of personalities. it’d be hard to guess what I could be when I obtain various qualities and skills that would help me in the future. This Pitzer Pipeline Program will help me find what kind of person I really am and what my story is really about. This is just a cover of myself and the story has just begun.

Hey Joye! I like hearing about your story. A lot of people think that I’m an extrovert because I can be very friendly and outgoing. But a lot of the times I am shy and quiet too. So it depends who I am with and where. 🙂
Ty for reading it and I’m happy I am able to relate to your own personality
Joye, do you write creatively? This reads very beautifully. Thank you for sharing so much about yourself. I’m very happy you are at the Pipeline and I am excited to see where your story goes!
Thanks for the compliments. I don’t often write excessively but I like putting my thoughts out to the public
