10 Years From Now...

This past weekend was Homecoming here at Westminster. Each year so many alum come back to WC to watch the parade, visit the college campus, and of course, meet up with old friends and fellow classmates. This weekend I got the opportunity to meet up with old friends and see how their lives were going. Some had jobs in the field, some were still living at home, and some were either in grad school or law school. It's kind of scary to think that next time Homecoming rolls around, I'll be the one answering all the questions about my current life and occupation. However, it will be such a great experience to talk with my fellow capstoners and see how their lives are going as well.

If I could look to the future 10 years from now I think there is one person from my class in particular who I would be interested in seeing what they're up to. Doug Kunst, who is actually a year older than me, has really impressed me over the years. Even though he may not like being at Westminster for an extra semester I'm glad he's here because he always has a positive attitude and brings humor to our class. Over the past two years in particular though I've really noticed Doug excelling and taking on new tasks. For example, this year for his capstone project he's been covering the Wilmington Greyhounds football team each home game and has created a video blog where he posts updates on each game. My first time watching his video blog I was so shocked! I thought to myself, "Wow, Doug is really good at this, why hasn't he done more reporting?" Not only is Doug good at putting the story together, but he does it in such a fun and unique way which really makes it interesting to watch.

Along with his current project, Doug has always been involved in the major. Doug does a lot for out weekly news show, The County Line. I have to admit Doug is my all-time favorite director. He's very cool, calm, and collected when he directs a show and it just brings a positive atmosphere to the rest of the show. Doug has also been involved in TitanTown sports each year. Although I'm surprised Doug hasn't done more on-air stuff, since he's so good at it on his blog, he's really great at working behind the scene.

I think I'll be most interested in seeing what Doug is doing 10 years from now because he always seems to surprise me whether it's in sports, on-air, or directing. I could see Doug doing a number of things once he graduates. I could see him working with some type of sports team, working as a director at a news station, or even being on-air talent! Whatever Doug Kunst is doing 10 years from now though I know he'll be excelling and be doing it with a positive attitude!
