After leaving South Carolina her parents, Farah and younger brother all moved to Cary, North Carolina.

Farah’s duties as Vice President of the Student Union include Homecoming, Lecture Series, Concerts and Conflict Resolution. “Being Vice President of Student Union is actually a lot more fun than one would assume. You get to meet a lot of people in agencies, and you learn how to network,” Farah said.
Farah is a senior with a very busy schedule. She is taking 16 hours and is a teacher assistant in a three credit hour psychology 1000 class.
With a schedule this hectic Farah still manages to make great grades.
“Farah amazes me with her ability to maintain such good grades. I guess you could say she is really good at time management.” Farah’s friend Sherry Lillington commented.
When Farah has any free time she enjoys going to Wilmington beach with her friends, but you won’t find her near the water because she doesn’t know how to swim. Other things that she enjoys are cooking, shopping and listening to music.
Some of her favorite musical groups are Radio Head, Maroon 5, Jack’s Mannequin, and Something Corporate.
Farah also likes to watch movies. Some of her favorite movies are Meet the Parents, Almost Famous and One Fine Day. Her favorite television shows are The Office and Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia. You can tell by the movies and TV shows Farah watches that she enjoys comedy.

Her favorite foods are cheesecake and strawberries and she does not like cheese or Hershey’s milk chocolate. Her favorite beverages are Snapple and peppermint hot chocolate and caramel macchiatos from Starbucks.
Some other interests are meeting interesting people, jewelry, political debates on TV, and being around people that make her laugh. Farah’s political view is that of a Libertarian.
Farah is a very responsible and dependable person who can still go out with her friends and have fun.
“She likes having fun, but she appreciates the value of a plan and itinerary,” said Upama Zaman a cousin of Farah’s.

Farah Hussain is a very kind and thoughtful friend.
“I don’t remember ever fighting with her about anything. She is an extremely non-confrontational person,” Lillington said.
Farah Hussain is clearly a model student here at East Carolina University. After she finishes her schooling here at ECU you can be certain that Farah Hussain will be a very successful woman.
Farah’s friends say they could see her in Public Relations or a career in fashion. And if you ask Farah says that a career in Public Relations or a job as an event planner would be a dream come true.
Being the Vice President of the Student Union and all the other activities she participates in are all very impressive. From her record at ECU and what her friends say about her, a person could learn a lot from Farah Hussain about responsibility and dedication.
