Welcome to the second segment of "Meet The Reporter."

Our team of writers at ASU Odyssey will be writing monthly "Meet The Reporters" as an effort to make things fun for our readers and let you get to know us!

If you've read my recent articles, you probably know that I'm from Alabama. When I tell people where I'm from, I always get the exact same reaction: "Why in the WORLD are you in Arizona?"

You wanna know the reason why I am here? Why I chose ASU over all of the glorious southern colleges?

The truth is that when I chose to go here, I honestly had no idea why. I was a lost 18 year old and had no idea what to do with her life. The only thing I DID know is that I knew I wanted to write and create and entertain. ASU was going to provide me with all of those things no matter what. I had no idea if I would fit in or how I would feel being 1800 miles away from home.

Truth be told, when I took that leap of faith, I was provided with more blessings than I could've ever imagined. I've only been here two years and I have had more opportunities here than I have in my entire life time.

And with that, all I have to say is...

Forks Up.
