UO has been a school I have wanted to attend since I was young, and changing my career aspirations from engineer to Broadcasting has given UO more of an option to transfer to. Researching my major and the SOJC school has opportunities for networking, opportunities for internships that are reliable, very competitive for students to be successful.

What I need is the Hands experience, the stress, the action

DuckTV is big for me, getting into, to learn pre-production, post-production, learning how to write the script, how to learn about tone, body language, and how to learn Dropbox. A rundown program is key as well I learn and repeatedly do it more.

Outside of my coursework, I have participated in Intramural sports in flag football/basketball.

For me, it was an enjoyable experience as I learned teamwork, the ability to work under pressure, and the willingness to sacrifice, tones my competitive side, which in all are key qualities that help in my major projects or coursework in the classroom.

Iconic, flashy, speed, versatility as a running back, receiver, and returner, and big-play ability, de'anthony Thomas was one of the best at his position. He has a record of the longest touchdown run of 91 yrs in the Rose Bwol in 2012 against wisconsin. but me personally, i think of his 94-yard kickoff return for a touchdown against Kansas State in the 2013 Fiesta Bowl.
