Andy Boulle |
BackgroundMy name is Andy Boulle. I am a 19 year-old sophomore from Columbia, Maryland and I am in the Media, Self, and Society scholar's program. When I first entered Media Scholars, I just thought it would be good class to keep up with current events and news stories. I also thought it would just be beneficial for my future with the ability to put it on my resumé. Now that I am 3 semesters into this program, I have gotten so much more than I thought I would. Not only did I learn about all kinds of news stories and media techniques, but I also met so many new people from new places. From the first semester of Media Scholars, I met a lot of the kids I called my best friends then and still do to this day. I got a fun class that gave me lots of insight into what goes on inside a news room as well as different ways to evaluate the news I was consuming. With all this being said, my favorite part of Media Scholars was the guest speakers. We got to talk to lots of people who were currently working in the news, including people I had seen on TV before like Kevin Blackistone. With my Media Scholars classes nearly behind me, I can confidently say they were my favorite and I would easily take them again if given the choice.
