This is me (Katie's introduction)

A little introduction of myself

This is me (Katie's introduction)

Hello! My name is Katherine Kraus, and I attend Winona State University (call me Katie for short.) I am a freshman with a social studies education major. I am very excited to join the odyssey team!

Writing isn't something that isn't new for me. I've actually been writing since I was in middle school. It never was anything as significant as this though. Knowing people will actually read my articles and my thoughts is the most exciting thing to happen for me in a long time, and as a first semester college student I feel this is a great way to relieve some stress.

Overall I'm not sure what I'm going to write about on here. I think it will vary a lot depending on what inspires me for the week. I am very much in love with anything to do with nerdy stuff like superheroes but I'm also a huge history/politics geek (hence the social studies major.) So one week it might be my thoughts and theories about what's going to happen in the next Avengers movie and the next it could be about the pending election that is soon to happen. My goal for this though is to make people want to continue reading and to get an insight what its like for someone growing up away from home since I'm originally from four hours away from Winona.

Once again I am very excited to join the Odyssey team and I'm looking forward to continuing to improve my writing skills and as a way to keep myself writing!

This article is not for the Almost Short Friends, i.e. the 5'3" and 5'4" Friends. No no, this is for the Actually Short Friends, i.e. the Barely Scraping 5'1" and shorter Short Friends.

This semester I started my journey as a member of my University's Alumni Outreach Team.
