About Me and My Place in the Mediascape



My defining characteristics are; humor, bravery, dislike of change, adaptability, inability to keep a secret and care for others. My hate of change, adaptability and bravery all stem from my experience as a military brat. Because my dad is in the air force I have moved a lot thus my hate of change, but I have also gained the ability to adapt very quickly to new situations. I have also gained bravery and a sense that I should try everything because I may never be about to do it again. One of my not as pleasant characteristics is that I am terrible at keeping a secret. My last characteristic, care for people, comes from the sense that I am a people pleaser. I want people around me to be happy and I generally consider myself a nice, happy person who is kind to those around me.

Technically my lineage is a whole list of things but mostly Swedish. The only thing this really means to me is that I have blond hair and fare skin. Therefore I consider my lineage to by my immediate family members. I come for a line of loving, musical, creative, Christian, family centered people. I have great respect for what past family members and my dad have done in the military and although I will never join myself I consider my upbringing in a military environment to be part of my lineage.

Someday I want to do something great that people will remember. I am standing on strong morals, ambition and talent that will hopefully let me reach that goal. Until that day my position in the world is a student trying to learn what I can and survive college.

As graphic design student I think I view the mediascape with an artistic point of view. I tend to pay a lot of attention to the design aspects of things like movies, articles and websites. I also think because I am a Christian who has various morals I view the mediascape in a certain way. I tend to shy away from things in the media that go against those morals. As a young adult growing up in this generation media is a huge part of my life everyday in many forms. I think because of this viewing different parts of the mediascape is a daily activity that I no longer put much thought into.
