JJ's Introduction !

Allow me to reintroduce myself ! My name is JJ Brown well that's what I like to go by I am a student here at South Carolina State University. Originally born in North Charleston a true 843 native. I am currently finishing up my junior year majoring in journalism. In the future when I do receive my degree I plan on writing for a media coverage company, but also getting into the world of radio.

One interesting about me is that I also want to do stand up comedy. The entertainment of making other people laugh is something me and my people do on the daily. So sometimes we'll do a little stand up here and there. Also being from the south I'm a big food guy! I love to eat which is weird because I'm a picky eater, but if its chicken or cornbread you know an everyday thing you cant go wrong with that.
The reason I chose to take up journalism is a funny story , previously I wanted to go into the medical field. Not doing so well in the biology classes, but making straight A's in the writing classes. The previous college I attended had a writing class where you had to write a paper on a topic with only 45 minutes. Boom! I then found out exactly what I was good at.
