The beginning....again

So here I am, posting a new blog on blogger.com. The use of this blog will hopefully become more and more frequent as my studies in journalism and electronic media from The University of Tennessee progress.

I would like to preface myself by giving a short back story of who I am, what I'm doing and the things I hope to accomplish and become.

So, as stated before, I'm attending UT Knoxville and am majoring in journalism. Although the university lists me as a senior, I feel like I'm just getting started in journalism. I am a transfer student from Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College where I graduated with an Associate degree.

At MGCCC, I got most of the "basics" out of the way and had fun at the same time. Band pretty much consumed my life. I was trombone section leader, band council - all that jazz. I had every intention of attending the University of Southern Mississippi, but plans change. So do locations. My family and I moved to Knoxville where I am continuing my education.

As for my future, my dream is to write for an automotive magazine or website. MotorTrend Magazine pretty much embodies everything that is awesome with this field. I like most automotive related things but the niche of "late-model production vehicles" is my passion. I love to see the next generation of car models roll off the assembly lines.

I plan to keep this blog fairly professional, posting stories I write for the Tennessee Journalist and any other material I produce. I plan to keep my personal life updated here as well.

So stay tuned! Watch for new and interesting updates.
