Small Town Kansas

Hey y'all, my name is Shelby Edwards. I was born and raised in a small town in the southeast corner of Kansas called Riverton. If you're having a hard time figuring out where Riverton is, it's probably because it isn't even on the map. I graduated with a whopping 48 people, all of which I can list and could tell you fun facts about individually if you were really that interested in learning about strangers. I am writing this blog to share what it is like growing up in a small town in Kansas, and comparing it to the city life I am still adapting to.

I chose this topic manly because I grew up in a small town and faced a bit of a culture shock when I moved to Topeka. I was very well known and what some might say to be apart of the "in" crowd in high school, due to my involvement in athletics and social events. Moving to a place where no one knew my name or story was incredibly strange. Small town life really stuck out to me as the perfect topic because I have now experienced the best (and sometimes the worst) of both worlds. I absolutely love it here in Topeka, but there are quite a few differences that city people wouldn't understand about us small town folk. My intended audience is really anyone who is interested in the diversity in Kansas locations. Whether my viewers grew up in a small town and can relate, or have never stepped foot in a one-stop-light town, I believe there really isn't a limit to who I am trying to connect with. Anyway, stay tuned to read about my life experiences!

Introduction

Hi, my name is Mizuki Iwasa, and I’m sophomore majoring in mass media emphasis of creative advertising and my minor is business. I came from a town called Yokohama next to the Tokyo. I spent most of the life at the town having much nature and sea.

 My hobbies include playing and watching soccer, listening to music, and watching comedy shows. Before coming to Washburn university, I studied business (Commerce) at Japanese university for 2 years. This experience gave me interests to media field especially how advertising in our society works and are made. After being determined to go to the United States and study it, things went quickly. I picked Washburn university in term of the quality of education and international house. I hope I can find new things.

Me. The future President. 2036.




Hello all.

I grew up in Garden City, KS. Garden City is 4+ hours away from Topeka, in Western KS. 

I am interested in a lot of things. I play the piano, French horn and I also sing. I love music, specifically a lot of Broadway. I really love reading all types of books. I also love swimming, and I used to competitively swim for over 10 years. 

One of my favorite things is debate. I am on the debate squad at Washburn, and it takes a lot of time (hence why I am gone a lot.) One of the most interesting, best things I've ever done. Debate/politics really interests me, and it's become one of my hobbies. 

I am studying Mass Media because I want to be a journalist. Specifically, I want to be a combat correspondent in the Marines. I decided to go the military route because I will get a quicker start, better training, and it is an immediate beginning to a world of foreign correspondence. (I am also a History major which is super cool)

I came to Washburn partly because I knew that it was a solid, affordable school, but also because Washburn Debate recruited me. I get most of my scholarship from debate, and I love the team.  I wanted to continue debate and Washburn is the top parli team in the nation. I seriously love debate. 


Other stuff: I love Jesus, I have 5 sisters (3 Korean) and 1 brother, and I am in Alpha Phi sorority. 

Peace,

Introduction


My name is Larissa Morgan. I'm currently a sophomore and I chose Mass Media as my degree because while in Intro to Mass Media everything about Mass Media caught my attention and I wanted to do something that I enjoyed. I chose Washburn because it was close to my family for the time being.  I grew up here in Topeka but didn't graduate from any schools here. I graduated from Fort Osage in Independence Missouri. My interests and hobbies are spending time with my kids, singing, and dancing. I have a 3-year-old son and a soon to be 2-year-old daughter. My emphasis in Mass Media is with Public Relations but I hope to become more with in the media world either through blogging, vlogging, or live broadcasting. I currently live broadcast on an app called Live.me, it’s for people all over the world and you can broadcast talent, games, or you can just go with what your lifestyle is. I am hoping to make a career with Mass Media. Some fun facts about myself are that I know a NFL football player and that I have met 2 WWE wrestlers in person. If you happen to see me on live.me make sure you stop in and just say hi. Hope everyone has wonderful semester at Washburn!

Introduction

My name is Elijah Reed, and I grew up in Topeka, Kansas. I was born in Atlanta, but my family moved here when I was little. I have two brothers. My hobbies include playing basketball, video games, listening to music( mainly Hip-Hop and R&B), and writing. I'm a huge basketball fan as well as a fan of 1990's cartoons and sitcoms. I went to Highland Park High School, and was heavily involved in the theatre department. In fact, I was a part of both of the groups from Highland Park that were ablet to perform at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. When I was twelve year old, I got to interview Jackie Robinson's widow, and I think that impacted heavily on my career choice. I chose to study Mass Media because It has always interested me, and I want to go into creating television shows and films. I think that media, especially music and television, inform, entertain, an speak on social issues in a way that nothing else can. I fell in love with television at a young age, and in addition to performing, I would love to be able to create projects. I chose Washburn University because of the closeness to home, and the down to earth feel of the campus.

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.

This Is Me




Hello! My name is Brittney Clark. I grew up in a small town outside Kansas City called Bonner Springs. During my childhood I grew up on a farm, but don't kid me for a cowgirl. I was chased by a bull when I was younger....so that ultimately made me fear of cows LOL. Event planning is my passion and through my sorority Delta Gamma I have the position of the social chair. This position consists of planning socials with the other sororities and fraternities on campus, along with planning our semester formal dance. Another passion of mine is animals! My dog Loki is literally my best friend and it kills me that I am not able to spend a lot of time with him during the school year. Originally, I was planning to become a nurse, but after a few major changes I decided to go with Mass Media. My goal is to own a wedding planning business, but I would love to do a variety of event planning until I start my business. I also did not originally plan on attending Washburn, but after my best friend convinced me to tour the school I ended up loving it here. I am also loving Mass Media and I can’t wait to see the growth this course will give us!



This is about me!

Hello, everyone! I am Narumi Hishinuma from Japan. I grew up in a small town, Yokosuka, has an American Navy base and is surrounded by beautiful ocean and mountain. I have played basketball since I was 10 years old, but I like playing any sports.
 I was majoring business marketing till last semester but changed major to mass media journalism and minor in business, because math and accounting was out of my head, but I really enjoy mass media.

I also love to talk to my friends and meet new people. Please feel free to ask me about Japan or me if you have questions!
