I cannot believe I’ve been writing for Odyssey for a year now. I remember how excited I was when I first started writing for Odyssey because I was going to be a published writer. It was a dream of mine and it came true! It was a big deal for me and it still is.

I began writing for Odyssey while I was at Rogers State University, the community was tiny and there wasn’t a lot of consistent writers there. I became more dedicated to writing and to Odyssey after I transferred to the University of Oklahoma. I joined a team of amazing and talented writers and editors who loved writing as much as I do. The OU community is organized, there’s plans and goals to be made. There’s so much progress!

Odyssey gives Millennials the chance to write about anything and everything they want to. That’s what I love most of Odyssey. From the topics of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, politics, education, or literally anything that comes to your mind you can publish on Odyssey. A year later, I’ve been promoted from a content creator to an editor-in-chief for the OU community.

It’s such a blessing and a special opportunity to work with everyone. I’m thrilled to be a co-editor-in-chief for Odyssey at OU with Corynn McMurray because it shows both of our dedications to the company and our love for writing and editing articles. I can’t wait to help the OU community grow; to hit our goals every week and month and bounce ideas back and forth in our new team. On to year two.

Thank you, Sierra Abbott, for believing in me.

Thank you, Patrick Weaver, for this amazing new opportunity.

Here’s to us, Corynn McMurray, and our new friendship as both editors-in-chief and future educators.

Thank you Odyssey.
