Special Time With Jo

            I recently interviewed an interesting classmate of mine named Alex Thompson for a class project in Fundamentals of Journalism. Alex Thompson is a twenty-one-year-old Junior at Morningside College. He is currently a Psychology major, and told me “I really enjoy the Psych classes here”. Aside from academics he is a wrestler competing at 174lbs and aspires to be a multiple time All-American for the Mustangs. When he can, he also works the wine and spirits counter at Hy-Vee to make some extra cash. Most of Alex’s time is taken up by schooling, training in the wrestling room, and work, but is not confined to these things alone. 

For fun Alex enjoys longboarding, fishing, jumping off of tall things into water, and all around likes to be outdoors. He also likes to go Frisbee golfing, and listening to music. Naturally, after this response I had to ask him what his favorite Genre of music is. I was surprised when he said “I don’t really have a favorite genre”, he went on to explain that it depends on what kind of mood he is in, but country is always a good option. It makes sense that Alex would like country music because when I asked him where he is from and he replied with “Well I was born in Norfolk Nebraska, but I grew up in the town of Hoskins”. Hoskins is a small “drive through” town in Nebraska where everybody knows everybody. Needless to say, Alex Thompson seems like a good ole Midwestern small town kid down to the core.
