Introducing Me: Shelby Edwards

Hey everyone, my name is Shelby Edwards. I grew up in a small town about 9 miles from Joplin, Mo called Riverton, Kansas. I lived there my whole life before moving to Topeka. I am a javelin thrower on Washburn's track team. I love being outdoors and participating in other sports, especially basketball. I also have a passion for dancing. If I'm not choreographing or teaching routines, I'm probably watching videos of other people doing them. I'm a huge ice cream lover and I watch the t.v. show Friends like everyday. I absolutely love meeting new people!!  I actually didn't start off as a Mass Media major. I started out as a Physical Therapy major, until I realized how much I hate taking science courses. I took the mass media intro class last semester because a friend of mine told me it was a fun class and I just needed a credit. I ended up liking it a lot and decided to change my major. I found myself at Washburn mainly because I have a track scholarship, but also because I liked the campus and it is a good distance away from home.
