First Blog

I'm Kim, from Harvard, Illinois (no relation to the actual Harvard University). I am a Sophomore attending Lindenwood University majoring in Mass Communications. Radio/film are my two interests in this specific field.
When I'm at home, I work quite a bit; Subway and Ren Faire are the two places that consume about 80% of my life.

One of the things I'm passionate about is keeping the fine arts in local schools and communities. When I was in High School, my school didn't have enough funds to keep all extra cirricular activities going; the first on the chopping block was Jazz Band, Madrigals, and Art Club. I have participated in all of these and I knew how important is was to me and my friends.

My mother, along with a few other women, founded H.A.R.M.O.N.Y, a group for District 50 dedicated to keeping the fine arts within my school.
Americans for the Arts is a main website promoting keeping the arts within schools.

Switching gears, to favorite YouTube video. I actually don't really have a favorite YouTube video, but my friend Veronica showed me this last week and it just made me smile. This is from a band called I Set My Friends on Fire; just a fun video :)
