College Village

Full Name: Hannah Ellen de Lima TischerHome Country: BrazilCity: Santa Rita do Passa QuatroHobbies: Gym, dancing, and travelingActivities at GCC: I am a Fashion Business Merchandising student, member of Phi Theta Kappa and the DECA club, was a member of the Student Advisory Board, organized the 35th Annual Fashion Show, work-study at the Admissions Office, and a Resident Assistant at College Village.Favorite Food: I could eat sushi every day Favorite Music: Mostly something I can dance to, but not hip hop. Random fact about yourself you'd like to share: Before studying fashion I wanted to be a professional ballet dancer.What do you see as a similarity between your country and the United States? People in the US are welcoming and are curious about people from other countries just as Brazilians are. Brazil and the US also have pretty much the same type of food but the cooking and the diet are different. What do you think is one of the biggest differences between your country and the U.S.? The biggest difference is definitely the economy; the US has a much better economic situation than my country. Other than that, as I mentioned before our diets differ a lot, even though we have the same food; and the weather. In Sao Paulo we do not have snow; our winter temperatures are the same as the fall temperatures here.

Blame The Comic (Marion Stafford) has been in the comedy business since mid 2002. He likes to think of himself as the most known unknown. This comic’s name can be read in two ways: Blame the Comic or “Blame” (v.) the Comic, which is exactly what he wants you to do because you never really know where this comic is coming from. A native Houstonian, Blame is not only a jokester, but a college graduate from the University of Houston (2006). It took only eight years and $30,000 for him to graduate with a bachelor’s degree in Communications Media Production and a minor in English to discover that he wanted to be a comic. He experienced early success in his career with an appearance on B.E.T’s hit comedy competition show, “Coming to the Stage” (2004) and winning several national comedy competitions, including, The Kings and Queens of Comedy competition (2004), Las Vegas Comedy Festival Regional winner for the college category where he performed at the Stardust Hotel.
