  Coloring in Page 1: Arriving in Eugene    “In December 2010, I packed up my stuff and I headed to Eugene on a long car trip from Tempe, AZ. The distance      

   between San Francisco and Eugene was the longest; it took me about 10 hours driving among the mountains to    

   get to Eugene. That last part of the trip was the hardest. The highway was empty and I drove for hours alone. The    

   weather was so bad…it was raining heavily and the road was winding. Eventually, I arrived in Eugene for the first    

   time. It was after midnight and very cold at that time. It was my first time driving on Martin Luther King road      

   beside the stadium. I drove slowly and enjoyed the beautiful streets and the sidewalk lined with trees. I remember  

  thinking how this will be my final destination and, the place where I will spend the next four years at. I really love it  

   here…even the weather. I felt I belonged in Eugene since my arrival here” – Abdullah Hammad

     Coloring in Page 5: Saturday Market “Nothing sounds better than going to the Saturday Market on a sunny day in Eugene.     

      The art, food, dancing, music, colors, people, and overall culture brings such positive     

      energy to the scene…” – Olivia Hartvig

Coloring in Page 6: The Eugene Food Scene    “Let a five‐year‐old design a sundae‐‐‐gummy worms, cake batter ice cream, Oreos and sprinkles and  

   maybe some chips‐‐‐and it might come close to what the Eugene Food Scene looks like. It’s a whimsical world  

   of sometimes local, sometimes Sysco food with a focus on everyone‐friendly fare (think gluten free, vegan, dairy  

   free). You can duck into a dive for $2.50 tacos or put on a fancy skirt and head out for a fishbowl and a pot of 

   beer cheddar fondue. What the Eugene food scene has meant to me is a new beginning. It is here that I started  

   my career as a journalist and set myself apart as a food writer. It is here that I have begun to find my voice,  

   my purpose” – Melissa Haskin

Coloring in Page 9: Eugene Sports – Go ducks! “For my first football game, I was in the University of Oregon student section during the Stanford versus  

   Oregon in the fall of 2010. This was the first time I stepped food in Autzen Stadium and I amazed by the  

   60,000 fans, alumni, and students that filled the stadium. It overwhelming to some extent, but I loved the  

   crowd’s enthusiasm. Being a Warriors, Raiders, and A’s fan I am not used to being a fan of such a successful  

   sports team. This was my first time I really believed in my own team, which felt reassuring. I went to college 

   game day sponsored by ESPN and waited in line with 2,000 other students to get into the very front section  

   When they finally opened after 4 hours of waiting, everyone stampeded through a 20 foot gap and some  

   People got trampled. The Oregon Ducks ended up beating Standford, which was ranked No. 9 in the country.  

   It was a victorious experience that I got to be apart of on a national level, something I will never 

  forget – Nathan Lilly
