Week One

Hey, my name is Sarah. I'm a junior transfer from Illinois Central College in East Peoria, Illinois. Technically i'm a junior, but because I transferred so late, i'm actually a freshman/sophomore in the Fashion Communications major, so it's a little confusing. I'm hoping to be done within about another year and a half.

Here's a little background about me, and about who I am. I've lived in a little town called Washington, Illinois my whole life. It's about 2 and a half hours south of Chicago, so that should make it a little more familiar. I've always had a love for animals, music, and riding horses. Those are my passions, for sure. Fashion is my passion as well, but it's a newer passion of mine. I've been singing since I was 2, and riding horses since I was about 6 or so. I love both.

In High School, I was in 3 choirs, and played the flute in 2 different concert bands. High School was definitely where I did most of my music things. I still sing a lot, but haven't picked up my flute in 2 years. I probably should do that sometime. I sing solo's at church, and i'm also involved with a youth ministry at Mizzou called The Branch, and I also sing for the worship team there. Riding horses is a love of mine, as well. I started out riding Western, then switched to Dressage when I was about 13. If those are foreign to you, it's basically two totally different types of riding. Western is more informal, and Dressage is more formal and organized.

Even though I love music and horses, I didn't want to major in those for some reason. I actually was totally in the dark with what I wanted to do major wise until my sophomore year at Illinois Central College, and that major ended up being Fashion. So far I am loving it. Looking at me and talking to me, you wouldn't really take me for a fashion major. I don't have the expensive fancy in style clothing that most fashion majors have, but I enjoy it just as much as the next person. I hope I stick with this.

That's pretty much me in a nutshell. There's a lot more to me, but that's pretty much summing it up.
