Alexis Jenkins definitely is very active from the start. Sports have always been her passion; growing up, you could always catch her outside at the softball field playing with her high school, tournament team, or family. This all was until she had an almost career-ending injury occur not just once but twice. Luckily, she could continue to play two years of college softball, but she always wondered why tearing your ACL, also known as your Anterior Cruciate Ligament, was such a big deal. Now years later, she is a Senior here at Millersville studying Sports Journalism. After graduation, she plans to work her way into the ESPN world to eventually become an ESPN Broadcast Journalist.

Bryan writes because it allows him to be himself. He doesn’t write for the intention of being read but for the sensation of putting pen to paper. Writing helps him express himself in ways that other formative or summative assessments never could. Often, he struggled with insufficient word stock and writing mechanics in his writings. However, over time he was able to understand complex sentence structure and improve the use of proper punctuation after proofreading his own papers. Personally, writing is an essential tool for his selected major. If effective, it can have the ability to inform and gain a larger audience. As a sports
