Joselin Oudemans, a fifteen year-old from Hammonton, New Jersey, is not the typical Jersey girl. Though she owns a shirt that reads, “Jersey girls don’t pump gas”, she does much more than go to the gym, tan, and do laundry. In fact, she is opposed to tanning beds, unlike the locals who became a reality TV sensation. Oudemans is very adamant about having a healthy diet. In fact, she has been a vegetarian for nearly three years. She’s different from most teenagers, because she not only dislikes junk food, she loves healthy food. In fact, she doesn’t even like candy. Being as healthy as she is, her dream job is being a fitness trainer and nutritionist.

        Oudemans, to my shock, has not seen the movie Mean Girls, which most teenagers consider the epitome of adolescent American culture. A kid at heart, Joselin’s favorite TV show, when she can watch it, is Spongebob Squarepants. In addition to Spongebob Joselin likes watching Jersey Shore when she has time. Being from New Jersey, she finds the ridiculousness of the Jersey Shore cast amusing. Joselin Oudemans may be different from many teenagers, with her healthy lifestyle, but this is what will make her someone who makes a difference in this world.
