Magan Jade

My name is Magan Escamilla. I'm "the girl with the short hair." My major is agricultural communications. Most people ask what that is so I'll just tell you. With my degree, I will be able to do radio, tv, journalism, web design, graphic design, marketing or public relations for an agricultural market. I don't know if I want to any of that when I graduate, which I realize makes no sense. I want to teach high school agriculture for a few years after I graduate and got my degree in communications as a back up. I really enjoy everything I study but fell in love with FFA in high school and decided I wanted to run a program one day. I graduate in May and will do my teacher certification after. Is that weird? Yes. I will come back as an undergrad alumni but it means another football season and another year in Lubbock, which I consider home. I graduated from Kingwood High School. My class was 1,100 students and Reliant Stadium was the venue. My family has since moved to Madisonville, Louisiana. It's only 45 minutes from New Orleans across one of the longest bridges in the world called the Causeway. They were hit by hurricane Isaac but luckily, no damage was done to our home. I go to school full-time and work nearly full-time at Embassy Suites. Everyone I work with is awesome which makes standing on my feet for almost 9 hrs each shift a whole lot easier. I laugh at almost everything including myself but I might not at 9 am when you all are graced with my sleepy and absent minded presence. I like most things in life but mostly sushi, haircuts, coffee, salsa, music, and painting. Not in that order and not all at once. But mostly, I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you a little better.
