My name is Mike Kelly, I'm a freshman at Bradley University in the English Education Department. At this point, I'm studying to be a High School English teacher. I've always wanted to be a sports writer, so I was kind of drawn to English. Somewhere along the line it became English Education. Who knows?
I'm from the Peoria area, so I grew up very close to Bradley. Actually, I live about ten minutes away from campus, which makes for a pretty easy commute. I've always lived here, and I went to the schools in the area. I wasn't a public school kid, though. I went to Catholic grade school and High School--St. Philomena and Peoria Notre Dame.
