Last Sunday we said one last goodbye to the seniors as they graduated from ADM and are embarking on the rest of their lives. The Black and Redgister Staff lost a few of their own: Kashish Patel, Aaron Teckenburg, Sean Whitson, and Paige Jansen. Everyone on the news staff cannot wait to see where they go!
Kashish Patel: University of Iowa
Kashish will be taking the Pre-Med route at the U of Iowa. She is majoring in Human Physiology and plans to become a general surgeon.
“I found a family while I was on the news staff and made so many good friends. Being a part of the News staff pushed me out of my comfort zone and I found a side of me that I had never met before. I have formed a special bond with each one of the staff members. I can never ever forget this staff because they pushed me to be a better person and a better journalist. These people have made me laugh more than I ever have. Now they make me cry more than I ever have.”
Aaron Teckenburg: Iowa State University
Aaron will be attending ISU in the fall with a major in Elementary Education.
“My experience with news and The B and R was great and if I could do it all over again, I would. You make lots of friends and the class is just fun in general.”
Sean Whitson: Louisiana State University
Sean will be attending LSU for Music Education and plans to become a music instructor.
“It was really fun and such an amazing learning experience. I got to learn so much about how journalism workks, and why it is so important in society. It felt so good to be a part of something impactful!”
Paige Jansen: Drake University
Paige will be attending Drake this fall and with a major in Political Communications. Unsure of what she exactly wants to do, Paige hopes for a career with a similar type of aspects that she experienced in the news and yearbook room.
“Joining The Black and Redgister, I had no idea how much it would impact me into the person I have become today. I wouldn’t have imagined how I would discover my passion for political journalism and photography. I wouldn’t have imagined I would meet my best friends on staff, and create a family of unique individuals tied together under a shared common goal: to give our student body a voice. I will cherish the laughs we have all shared and the memories I have made.”
