All About Me

Hi everyone. My full name is John Russell Mikols but I go by Russell. I am currently in my third year of college but my second here at SJSU. I attended Chico State University my freshman year and realized very quickly that it is tough get much done there (except party).

I am majoring in broadcast journalism and so far it has been an interesting, fun, and tough experience. I am planning on graduating about one semester late due to some complications with my transfer from Chico State.

Many of my interests in life pertain to sports. My favorite sport is basketball. I have been playing and watching basketball and most other sports since I was very young. I am hoping that my love for sports will lead to some sort of career in that field. My dream would be to work for either the bay area radio station KNBR, or the mother-ship network that is ESPN.

I hope to get a lot out of this 100W course. I would like to think that my writing skills are good, but I know they are not great and can be much improved. I am hoping this course will teach me how to write in the various styles of media that I will need to succeed in the work force. Overall, I just want gain the knowledge and skills necessary to be successful in life. I am looking forward to this semester and am eager to get it over with!
