My name is Matt Gardner. I am a senior at UW-Whitewater. I am a journalism major and my minor is multimedia. This is my second time taking this class, as my head was in different places last semester. I did not get the grade I desired, so I'm back for another go-around.
Writing has taken over my life. I am the sports editor for the Royal Purple, so that takes up over 20 hours of my week. It's a great experience and I enjoy my work, but it does get very hectic at times and I've been nothing but busy this semester. I also am a correspondent for the Whitewater Register and I've done a lot of freelancing for other newspapers even though my career has been short.
Being a sportswriter is what I'd like to do in the future. I'm going to have to start out small, but I have big goals for my career. I really would like to end up at the Journal Sentinel, my hometown newspaper. Eventually, I want to be working for a big-time sports agency. CBS, NBC, ESPN, or Sports Illustrated are my desired destinations.
Other than writing, I try to enjoy myself. For fun, I do many different things. Hanging out with friends, going out to bars, attending concerts, playing sports, doing stuff with family. I'm kind of a random kid that does a lot of stuff and has fun doing whatever he's taking a part of.
