My name is Kate Bozsik and I am a MEC sophomore. I was born and raised in Akron, Ohio…made famous as the hometown of NBA player LeBron James.

As a child, my mom always advocated artistic creativity. Since she’s passionate about all kinds of art, I think it was natural for her to express it. So, over the years, I gained knowledge of art history and the use of different artistic mediums. I learned to play the piano and joined a youth choir. I’ve even done some flower arranging. Looking back, I see that much of my eagerness to explore new areas of art was inspired by her.

My favorite class this semester is History of Philosophy. There’s something about trying to get inside the minds of ancient and classical philosophers that fascinates me. They certainly have a valuable perspective on reality.

Right now, I’m reading The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky. I am a sucker for the classics.

“We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.”
-T.S. Eliot

I actually have a favorite CD…not just a song. J It is MECs newest: Strength from Heaven. I was able to enjoy seeing the masterminds behind that beautiful compilation of psalms while they were hard at work (which, for them, seems more like play).

See “what is one of the things I love most about MEC.” Need I say more?
