Patrick Edmund, a rising Neosho senior, plans to attend MSU.

Where are you from?

I’m from Neosho, MO.

What are some of your interests?

I like art and theater, I guess.

What’s your favorite TV series?

The Netflix original, Stranger Things.

Do you like any types of sports?

Yeah, I’m actually into tennis. I don’t play on the school’s team, though.

You said you were interested in the arts; is that a career you would want to pursue?

Yeah, I think so, but I’m more focused on the arts side. Photography.

Have you had any professional experiences with photography?

No, it’s more of a hobby. I started liking it in the 8th grade.

Where are your parents from?

My mom was actually born here in the United States. My dad is from Micronesia. That’s somewhere near Indonesia and the Philippines.

I hope you don’t mind me asking, but what does that make you, ethnicity wise?

Makes me a Pacific Islander, I guess.

Do you work?

No, not currently, but I plan on applying to a couple places soon.

What college do you plan to attend?

Well, I want to go to MSU all four years. I also might go to Crowder for the first two years with the A+ money, and then switch to MSU for the last two years.

Where do you plan on living when you grow up?

I’m most likely going to stay in Missouri, but if I had a choice, then I’d live in Portland, Oregon.
