I actually started thinking about media arts back in high school. I did a broadcasting class in the high school, which was basically the same thing as what I'm doing now, where it's like we do the morning announcements every single day and we try to run it as close to a news station as we could. And I just absolutely fell in love with the structure. I fell in love with just the act of filming. And I decided I wanted to pursue that later in life. And I've really enjoyed it so far. I absolutely love media arts, and college has really given me an awesome opportunity to find out what all media arts can cover, which is really cool, “said Johnson.
