Fall 2017: Introduction to a unique individual
Hello readers of the internet! My name is Matthew K. I am an
advertising student at the University of Oklahoma, a graphic designer, a
photographer and a cat lover. Recently I graduated from Oklahoma City Community
College with an Associates in Diversified Studies, basically it is where you
pick your own classes and create a major, weird but cool. I am what is
considered a non-traditional student, meaning I am older than most college
students and did not go to college straight from high school. I actually
dropped out of high school and got my GED so to be even a community college
graduate is something of an accomplishment.
Before deciding to go back to college I had traveled all
over the United States, France, the UK, Italy, Spain, Puerto Rico and the Dominican
Republic. I was a promoter and designer for a Latin music label so the travel
was one of the best perks. Leaving that job was hard but it just wasn’t for me
anymore so I decided to move back to Oklahoma to help my family and went back
to being a chef. I loved it at first but after a few years it turned into just
a “job” and not a career as I had lost my passion for cooking.
Talking with some people I play online video games with, yes
I am a gamer, nerd or whatever you want to call it, I decided to go back to
school for something I loved which was graphic design and photography. It was a
no brainer and as I got a job at OCCC as a student designer it made my passion
stronger and the desire to further my studies into the world of marketing and advertising.
Recently I adopted a cat, he is a 4-year-old Original Tabby
I named Kika (Hawaiian for Tiger). He is the most loving cat I have ever had
and brightens my day whenever I am down or when I get home.
