New lede: A young man left his home in New Jersey, to attend college a small private college in the mid west. Jescy Rodriguez  a young man studying Mass Communication at Morningside College.

Jescy Rodriguez, a young man left his home in New Jersey came all the way to Sioux City, Iowa. Jescy is a man of change. He studies Mass Communication at Morningside College.  “There are so many possibilities with a degree in Mass Comm,” says Rodriguez when I asked him why he choose this degree. Rodriguez is scheduled to graduate this Spring, perhaps writing movies will become a full time job in the near future.

Growing up in New Jersey, Rodriguez went to a small high school, about 1,000 students. While attending high school, Rodriguez would get his first job at a snack bar at a local country club. Hard at work selling snacks to support to two lovely dogs and a turtle named Bob Ross.  He grew up with an a sister who is five years older than he is. If you were to ask Rodriguez when he was a young boy he would have told you that he wanted to be a paleontologist or an archeologist.

When I spoke to him he would run his tan fingers through his black hair. Rodriguez is Cuban and enjoys Cuban food. Rodriguez’s black hair didn’t always used to be short. At one point he wore his hair in dreadlocks for he craved a change. A lot of Rodriguez’s life is about change, moving from Jersey to Iowa, changing College Majors, and changing hair. “I’m stubborn,” he said, but it seems the only thing he is stubborn about is a constant need for change.
