Anterior Cruciate Ligaments
By Alexis Jenkins
Alexis Jenkins definitely is very active from the start. Sports have always been her passion; growing up, you could always catch her outside at the softball field playing with her high school, tournament team, or family. This all was until she had an almost career-ending injury occur not just once but twice. Luckily, she could continue to play two years of college softball, but she always wondered why tearing your ACL, also known as your Anterior Cruciate Ligament, was such a big deal. Now years later, she is a Senior here at Millersville studying Sports Journalism. After graduation, she plans to work her way into the ESPN world to eventually become an ESPN Broadcast Journalist.
NYA LEWIS
My name is Nya Lewis. I’m a senior at Millersville University majoring in Digital Journalism. I knew I wanted to be a writer after binge watching the series Sex and the City. I loved the main character Carrie Bradshaw and wanted to be just like her. Her ability to be fashionable, live in the big city, and have a great career is inspiring to me. My interest in writing first came about my senior year of high school. My teachers kept telling me I was a really good writer, I thought nothing of it at the time. Now I realize their encouragement helped shape the great writer I am today. My hopes for after graduation are to write for a beauty/fashion magazine. My interests surround all things beauty, including fashion and makeup.
I have experience in the makeup community being that I worked at a makeup store for over a year. In that time, I became familiar with the latest trends in makeup and product information. In addition to knowledge, I gained experience in applying makeup to clients while working at the store. I also worked as a lead supervisor at an accessory store that taught me skills in leadership, teamwork, and time management. I had a lot of responsibility placed on me at this job, which was new to me. I adjusted very quickly and made the most of the job. Skills I’ve gained from both jobs have helped me mature and grow as a person.
