About Me

My photo
I'm an easy going person who likes the simple things in life. I enjoy a good laugh always. I may seem quiet, but I'm really not. Currently I attend HPU, looking forward to graduation in a year or less. I'm studying Visual Communication or Multimedia as some may know it. I have no idea what I want to do, but I'm learning a lot and am open to wherever this takes me.

Kara Jordan, Hoping for the Best

You never know what you're gonna get when you sit down to interview someone...This past week, I was privileged to get to know a classmate by way of an on-camera interview. Kara Jordan is a 22 year old Visual Communication major in her last year of school. As she prepares to make her way out into "the real world", I asked her to reflect on her life a little bit...
Kara has lived in Texas, Oklahoma, California (where she lived before heading to college), and now Hawaii. By the time she was in 5th grade, she had been to 6 different schools. I can't imagine it being easy to make friends that way. For the most part, Kara grew up in California. This is where she learned to surf, and fell in love with the ocean. When asked why Hawaii for school she said, "I was still into surfing, and after vacationing in Kaui, I knew I wanted to come back, school opened up that opportunity." 

When it came down to picking a major, like schools, Kara jumped around a bit. She knew she loved to travel, so felt that the Travel Management Industry (TIM Program) was the right path, but that wasn't as exciting as she thought it was going to be. Next she tried International Business, still sticking with traveling in the back of her mind. She quickly realized, that she's not that into business. Then she tried Visual Communication, and loves it! When she's not spending time in the edit bay editing videos, you can find her working at O'Tooles, an Irish Pub, as a cocktail waitress. And when she's not there, she putting time into her internship with Tom Moffat, a concert promotions company. 

As graduation approaches, Kara finds herself ready to leave the island, but not for at least 6 months. Tom Moffat Productions has offered her a paid position over the summer. She says she'll stick it out, and go from there! 

That sounds like a good plan to me! Good luck Kara, and congratulations!
