The Life and Time of Kendrus.


This is my backyard.

Just kidding.

Oh, hello. Fancy seeing you here. My name is Kendra and I'm a first year here at Trinity University. I'm from Anchorage, Alaska where my natural habitat is simply negative temperatures. I love music, writing, and all things zebra print.

I was born and raised in Laredo, Texas which is a small town on the Mexican border. I was raised bilingual, speaking both English and Spanish since my very first words. Being born into two completely different cultures [Mexican and American] I have developed a true love for other cultures and foreign customs. I have always loved the romantic languages. To this day, I have kept up with my languages by broadening the spectrum a little bit; I am fluent in Spanish and Italian, and I dabble in French, Brazilian Portuguese, and Finnish. In my sophomore year of high school, I studied abroad in Naples, Italy for an entire year where I learned the Italian language and lifestyle through immersion. It was the most incredible and life-altering experience of my life to date.

I am a fervent writer. Writing is my passion and I would probably [dramatically] die without it. I have dabbled in all types: creative, fiction, journalism, screenwriting, playwriting, and even legal writing. Ultimately I love any form that allows me to be creative.

I enjoy dancing, playing my guitar, meeting new people, singing, snowboarding, acting, and directing. I probably hate math and reading more than anything in the world; call me crazy, but I would rather write a 10 page paper than do 10 math problems any day.

When it comes to school, I'm a bit wishy-washy. Though I care very deeply about getting an education, I am quite scatterbrained and fringing on irresponsible. I was just a tad late on finishing this blog on time, for a sparkly example. Though I make petty and avoidable mistakes, I am so happy to be at Trinity! The social and educational stature here is light years ahead of any high school, and for that I am thankful. Trinity is full of opportunities, and I'm very happy to be here. I am a Media Communications major with a concentration in Film. My minor will most likely be English. I almost forgot! My secret fact is that I am a screenwriter and director; I have my own TV series here at Trinity, airing on TigerTV.

I don't have an extensive background in computers, but I'm no dummy when it comes to using one. I would really like to learn more about spreadsheets and website construction, as it seems like it may be useful later on. I'm a little nervous about the numbers and mechanics that may come along with understanding computers. I don't do well with numbers, formulas, or formal directions, so this should be an interesting experience! I'm up for the challenge. 

I'm looking forward to hearing from you! You can contact me at kdoshier@trinity.edu

Cheers,
Kendra

  4. Love your post Kendra, it seems like it came directly from you! I know I see good writing when I feel as if the author is actually talking to me with their written words. I love your blogs background too, the light tan-yellow, and Chocolate brown borders are nice!

  5. I really enjoyed reading your blog Kendra. You seem like such an awesome person. I definitely agree that writing is such an interesting and fun art form. I would choose a paper over a test also. I definitely hope to watch one of your shows on TigerTV one day!
