The first time I was told I had to write blogs for my job, I was completely against it. I didn't see the value in blogging nor did I think I was a very good writer. After writing for a couple of months, I realized that I actually enjoyed writing and began to see the value in having a blog for businesses.

As I started my senior year at UNI, I started a blog for UNI Dance Marathon that proved to be extremely successful (you can find it here). And during my final semester at UNI, a professor told my class that we would need to create a blog for our personal brand and create original posts throughout the semester.

Over the course of my final semester at UNI, I realized that I actually really love to write. I had always known that it was something that came easily to me, but it had never occurred to me that I could write for fun and that is why I am starting this blog.

While this first post is dated January 1, I am writing this on June 1. I wanted this post to be the very first on the blog as the next several posts are ones that I wrote for my class project or for Dance Marathon, but I really enjoyed writing them and wanted to share them on this blog as well.

If you find yourself reading this, I'd just like to say welcome to my blog and I hope you enjoy what I have to say. Nothing is profound or special, I'm just a guy who likes to write and occasionally share my thoughts with the world.
