My name is Shawn Windom. I am 21 and I am from Decatur, Georgia. My mom is from Kenya and my father is from Chicago so I am a mix of two different cultures. My interest are mainly in music, fashion, technology, and media. I started playing instruments when I was 10 years old with a trumpet in my elementary school band class. I then continued to play until I was 13 which I then started taking piano lessons. I continued to learn music theory though my piano teach as well as pick up other instruments in the process. I am now a Dj, recording artist, and producer. I mainly enjoy house, edm, rap, rnb, and alternative music. Some of my favorite artist include River Tiber, Mall Grab, Robb Banks, Travis Scott, and Kaytranada. I have been fortunate enough to Dj shows in Atlanta, Orlando, Miami, and Los Angeles. I plan on using music in a lot of different ways in the future such as continuing to develop as a Dj and be able to travel the world through that as well as making music of my own. 

 

Hello, my name is Roman Scott. I am 18, adopted from Russia, and live with my dad and two dogs. I was adopted at a young age, so, unfortunately, I do not have a super cool Russian accent. This semester is my first at Georgia State. I graduated Highschool in May of 2021. I was unsure what to do at the time. I knew I wanted to go to college, but I had no clue where and for what. Taking a gap year has always interested me. The thought of traveling and living your best life thrilled my mind; however, during my break, neither happened. My main reason for taking a gap semester was working on myself and finding out my true passions in life. A little self-discovery doesn’t hurt. One thing to know about me is that I am a sucker for a good nature documentary. This liking started a few years ago. I had just finished cleaning up from dinner when I went into my living room, where the TV showed a rather interesting feature on hippos. I was instantly sucked in.

My future goals and plans have not all that established yet. I have no clue what I want to do later in life, though I have a few ideas. The arts have always played a big part in my life, specifically drama and film. I was a part of the Drama Ensemble throughout high school, which did not mesh well with my crippling stage-fright, the irony. I worked on a few films with my friends, being behind the lens, helping with different tech elements. That was where I felt most comfortable. I loved being a part of a group working to create something amazing. Working in the film industry is just one idea of a path I would choose. I have also thought about being a dentist or an optometrist, though I do not know if I am prepared for all the years of school required. I am still young and trying to learn about myself. So far, I am feeling excited but also anxious about this semester. Fingers crossed it all goes well. I am looking forward to meeting everyone.

Hey yall!

My name is Alena (some people call me Rosey). I was born in Washington State and moved to Atlanta when I was 11.  My favorite color is purple and I hate the color pink lol.  I love action movies, including, Marvel, Divergent, and the Fast and Furious series.  My favorite movie is iron man I because I have a thing for iron man…not Robert Downey Jr., but the suit its self.  When I first saw that suit being made in the movie I ended up crying because I thought it was so beautiful. When it comes to music, I listen to everything from rock to hip-hop to country.  My favorite singers are A Boogie, Summer Walker, Bryson Tiller, and Chris Brown. Some of my hobbies include: playing volleyball, reading romance/fantasy novels, crocheting, and thrifting.  

As a senior in high school, I still am not sure what I want to do with my career path.  For years I wanted to be an engineer but now I’m leaning towards medicine.  Maybe both? I love math because almost everything is determined.  In math, you can solve something with an equation or a step-by-step process.  Chemistry is my favorite science probably it’s the perfect mixture of math and science.  Then there is psychology, why people are born the way they are, and how the environment is a part of the influence is so interesting to me.  Lastly, when it comes to non-stem-related topics I love creative writing.  Writing stories, putting images in readers’ heads, etc., and reading stories like this are very entertaining.

 

 

 

 

My name is Edward Yu and my major is Computer Science. I love playing games, with my favorite being Terraria. One of my favorite books I read is Unwind by Neal Shusterman, and I generally like Sci-fi, Dystopian types of books. I don’t have a specific genre of music I like, I just listen to whatever I happen to come across. My favorite movies are the American Godzilla from 2014 and onwards, and the 2016 Japanese Godzilla. I don’t like most sports, but I do really love swimming. Currently the only shows I’m watching are One Piece and My Hero Academia.

I’m studying Computer Science because I want to make a lot of money, mainly for games. However, I also want to be able to support and give back to my family that’s helped me get here. Right now my plan to live alone and be as free as I want to be, and GSU is my first step in the future I want.

This clip is by far my favorite scene in the 2016 Japanese Godzilla film, Shin Godzilla.

Here is a picture of my favorite movie and book characters.

Hi everyone! My name is Christina Hendreson. I was born in Chicago, Illinois and now live in Decatur, Georgia. I have two dogs that I love very much, Slim and Lizzy.

My favorite music artist is probably BTS, and my favorite song by them is Save Me. I don’t do any sports right now, but I did competitive gymnastics for six years.
