About Me

My name is Kelli Ives. I am currently a Senior at UC studying Journalism in the hopes of becoming a News Broadcaster. I have always dreamnt of being on the news but actually started out wanting to become a Meteorologist. Once I realized how much Science and Math went into that profession, I just chose to be a Broadcaster instead.
I would probably classify myself as a news-junkie. I love to watch the news and catch up on the current events whenever I get a chance. It's like an addiction to me. I have to know what is going on and all the details, except I focus mainly on the tri-state news.
When I have time away from school and work, I like to do many things. I love to go to the gym and get in a good work-out, (which I do almost everyday). I like to read, take pictures, go boating, travel around the world, and hang out with my family. Although I like to try to get time to do these things, it rarely happens-I'm way to busy. I did, however get a break from school this summer to travel to Norway and Sweden. That trip was life-changing and something I will never forget. I got to see so many beautiful things and seen how other cultures live compared to Americans. I took way too many picures just like a crazy tourist.
Some issues that are important to me and I think need more attention are the issues relating to animal abuse and bullying in the schools. I would like it if there were more harsh charges on animal abusers and more attention brought to it period so that maybe people could see how too frequent it occurs and maybe pull together to do something about it.
I feel the same way about bullying in schools. It happens on a regular basis and something needs to be done about it. There are children who live with the fear of going to school or being made fun of because of bullies. Children these days are so scared to go to school that they get depressed and withdrawn from society which can lead to some serious affects later in life. There are way too many cases where kids have committed suicide because of being made fun of and to me this is absolutely horrifying and needs to be stopped by bringing more attention to the issue.
This is just a little bit of info. about me. I hope this is a good start to a little insight about who I am.
