Adalee Hobson
Student Journalist/Photographer
Writing stories has always just come so naturally to me. If I had something going on in my life, I felt that writing a story about it made me understand myself better. It was as if putting my thoughts into words gave them a place to exist in the world. Being able to read the stories I have written, whether they’re on Facebook or the front page of the newspaper, it shows me I have accomplished something so big out of something I thought was so small. Our media program has made dreams I didn’t even know I had come true.
