Wynne, as in all I do is win. 

But literally, that's how you pronounce it.

Unlike a majority of the class, I'm not a journalism major. Currently, I don't have a major. I just switched out of electrical engineering, but I haven't decided where I want to go now. I'm not worried though.

So, why am I taking this class? Good question. For multiple reasons, journalism is my passion. Think about it. How fabulous is it that you get to tell stories every single day? Totes fab. 

Then there's the fact that information is powerful, and as a journalist you have the ability to share that information with the public which leads to a better society. Right? I mean, that's what they tell you anyways. Whether that's true or not, I love information and innovation, and I see both represented in this field. 

And lastly, journalism runs in my blood. 

Meet Larry.

Larry grew up in Mt. Vernon, Illinois, home of the Rams.

And now, meet Sue.  
Sue grew up in Freeport, Illinois, home of the Pretzels. Yes, the Pretzels. If you don't believe me just Google it.

They're pretty great. And by pretty great, I mean fabulous. These two started out as journalists, and can you believe it? They met at a newspaper! C'est vrai! 

Growing up in the Davis household consisted of plenty of visits from friends in the industry, and a lot of talk about the "good ol' days." The network with national reporters is truly impressive, but I didn't even think about being a journalist until high school. 


So I found journalism and high school and decided it was by far the greatest thing ever. I was hooked. Seek the truth. Follow the money. Investigate. Tell the stories of the world. It sounded too good to be true, and apparently it was, because my parents did not want me to join the family business. While, they both started out as journalists, Sue and Larry now have different jobs. Sue is the Executive Public Relations Director for Maryville University, and Larry works and an Editor for various projects that come his way.

It looked like journalism was out, but I still decided to take classes in it during college, and that's how I ended up here. And now that I'm not in engineering maybe I'll switch to just journalism. More than likely, I'll end up pursuing Computer Science and Journalism, because while I really like to write, I like to code too. 

I'm obsessed with technology, and love trying the latest gadgets. I'm sure a lot of you have seen this commercial. The Surface is what I use in between classes and when I'm on the go. Microsoft got it right with this one. 

When I'm not in Austin or in Houston with my friends from high school, I go back home. 16 hours by car. 2 hours by plane. Football isn't king in my city. Baseball and hockey rule the land. There's a pretty big monument where I live too. Most people have heard of it, but not everyone. When I went home for break temperatures were well below freezing. There were a few days we couldn't go outside because you could get frost bite in 30 minutes or less. Oh yeah, and that river, you know the one Samuel Clemens grew up around and wrote about in Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn? Yeah, it's right by there. If you haven't guessed it by now, I live in St. Louis. 

The Arch or the Gateway to the West. 

The Cardinals are my life during the summer and the Blues during the winter. Speaking of the Blues, we have 10 players representing six countries in the Sochi Olympics. #LONGLIVETHENOTE

That's life for now, but I don't expect it to stay that way forever. Change is great and after college, I want to live in Chicago, write a book, continue my graphic design work, photography, and travel the world. 

Oh and one last thing. I LOVE social media.
