Introduction

Hello! My name is Morgan Brown and I although I am classified as a junior, this is my first Semester at Washburn. I transferred from Allen County Community College, where I completed Associates Degrees in Arts and General Studies. My major is Communications with a Legal Emphasis, and I intend to attend law school after I attain my Bachelor's Degree. I am currently attending school 3/4 time, and will be a full-time student next semester.


I have lived in Topeka my entire life, and graduated from Cair Paravel Latin School in 2004. I have a full time job as Warranty Administrator at Laird Noller Ford, where I have worked for over three years. School and work keep my plenty busy, but I consider the most important part of my life to be my son. I am lucky enough to be mother to a wonderful little boy named Jordan, who will be five in December. He is absolutely wonderful, and my primary motivation in continuing my education. I have been a single mother for a year now, and am finding it very challenging balancing my time between my obligations and what I want to be doing. I spend every moment I have my son spending time with him, and with what little spare time I have I do homework and work overtime. If I manage to find a little extra spare time, I also enjoy volleyball, working out, and just spending time with friends and family.


Previous to formally declaring myself a communications major, I had decided to be an English major. English has always been my favorite subject, because it is the one that comes most naturally to me. I am actually looking forward to this class, and am excited to read some of the literature we have assigned, and get back into the swing of being a full-time student.
