Kayla Jean.

Hello, nice to virtually "meet" you. I'm glad you have come across this page, my blog. This is all new to me. I'm learning as I go and I've officially sort of become my own professor. So... I'm asking for you to do me a little favor while you read this blog. Keep in mind the level of how amateur I am, while I'm just starting out. I promise my blog will become better with the more experience I give myself. :-)

The Basics.

The first thing you need to know about me is that I love my savior, Jesus Christ. Without him, I am nothing. Although while growing up I was raised in a church and knowing God, I wasn't saved until my sophomore year of college, at the beginning of the year 2017. The difference between knowing God and wanting God is what changed my life forever. God will be there for you when no one else is. God is with you behind closed doors and you are never alone. He is waiting patiently for your desire for his love and I can't wait until you find it, too.

The next biggest part of my life would have to be what consumed my mind, body, and soul along with an infinite amount of blood, sweat, and tears for 12 long years... softball. From eight years old all the way to twenty, the one place you could find me at was the softball diamond. It was my entire life, it was the only thing I focused on and the only thing I ever knew. I lost touch with my religion due to playing the game and I fell out of touch with so many family members because of how demanding the sport was. Which sounds crazy but it truly is only understandable to the girls who have been there and played the game for their entire life as well.

I am blessed to say I played softball for two years in college, at my peak. I mean I only went to a JUCO but let me tell you... those two years are filled with some crazy memories, on and off the field. (ECC SQUAD WHAT'S UP). I was a pitcher, with quite a nasty changeup that I will never forget. Everything I was working towards and focused on for an entire decade lead me to my two years playing in college. The playing experience was almost everything I could've asked for... I was named team captain both years, I was constantly on the field, always in the batting line up... every girls dream. It was an amazing two years of ball. Thanks to that team, I made some of the best friends of my life. Genuine girls who care about me and my well being... seems hard to come by nowadays. Now that softball is over its like I'm an entirely new person. I don't have practice every day or weights to attend. Now I have life staring at me right in the face.

After graduating from Ellsworth, by the grace of God I found myself at a state university... ironically, the last school I ever thought I would end up at. But that's the thing... God knew what he was doing when he planned out my life. I am so thankful every day for where I am now.

I have been here in my college town just a couple weeks shy of a year and WOW... how amazing this last year has been for me. This past year has honestly been the best year of my life. I have grown in ways I never thought I would. Not only education wise, but spiritually, mentally and physically. I have also grabbed ahold of a stronger idea of what my future might be once I get into the broadcasting world, post-grad. Not to mention the dearly close friendships I have made.

I am majoring in Journalism with an emphasis in broadcasting, as well as minoring in Religious Studies. I have been blessed with a position as a News Anchor on a student ran club here at my university. Although my ultimate goal is to be a face that everyone knows in front of the camera, I am just not there yet. I think it is important to exercise my writing strengths, which is why I've created this blog. I will be blogging about various topics, they all won't be about myself... trust me, I know you don't really want to read all about me.
