To an average person the idea of leaving their home, and actually living on a school campus prior to college might seem out of the ordinary, but as we all know the students here at MSA are anything but ordinary. A school dedicated towards allowing students to have artistic freedom, and allowing them to focus on the art that captivates them seems to good to be true. Though in the bland state of Mississippi I have been introduced to a place where I have seen the most interesting and creative people.
You all know me as Simone Smith, and despite how shy I might come across as, there is an entire side of laughter and energy that is kept hidden. Never feel afraid to speak to me as I am always in the mood to have a nice conversation.
As a Junior, I feel honored to be able to be apart of the Literary Department this year. Having an entire class dedicated to working and creating works of writing is beyond wonderful, and I’m so excited to start working on everything that this department has to offer. I look forward to getting to know everyone, and having a great 2021-2022 school year; despite the setbacks that the corona has upbrought.
Simone, I’m glad someone else sees this campus as the opportunity it has come to represent for me. I look forward to this year of getting to know you and your art, along with everyone else. 🙂
Simone, I already know a little bit about your writing style because of our time in class together, but this just cements in my mind how eloquent and precise you are with your words! I also thought “bland state of Mississippi” summed up my thoughts on the state perfectly. I am so overjoyed to get to know you more!! 😀
simone, i totally feel all of this! you have such a talent, and i’m so looking forward to getting to know you on the journey we’ll take together as writers 🙂
This made me smile so much! It’s wonderful to see that you have such a positive perspective when discussing the differences of attending a ‘normal school’ to enrolling at MSA. You’re are going to do amazing things both here and beyond! I’m so glad that you’ve joined our department, and I’m excited to see what comes next for you as you continue to grow as a writer and person 🙂
