Who Am I: Getting to Know The Writer
Hey I just realized I never formally introduced myself before my first post. My name is Jerimiah Jackson, I a 20 year old young African American male from Ashland Oregon. I am attending a communication course that is a multimedia writing class and I will be making a few posts over the next few weeks and I hope to entertain an audience. I'm not originally from Ashland Oregon I'm from California but I moved here when I was very young. 2026 marks the 11th year I've been in Oregon, I have lived all over the valley all the way from Eugene Oregon to Ashland Oregon.

Ashland Oregon is located on the border of Oregon, going into California. It is well known for its College Southern Oregon university which I'm attending and the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. If you ever find yourself in Ashland the plays at the Shakespeare Festival are an amazing experience.
Most of my time in Ashland was during my mid teen years attending Ashland's schools. Now that I've graduated high school it has been a riveting 3 years since graduation. A lot has happened since then but the most interesting by far has been SOU, attending college as a young adult and working is hard. Being a full time student and working a full time job is not for the faint of heart. But to me its is worth it, I am attending SOU to become a communications/ business specialist to assist others in pivotal roles or my self in keeping a business afloat. But that could change in a couple of years as all college kids hopes dreams and aspirations do, its how we learn our limits.
One thing I fear as a young adult in my generation is AI and how it will affect my limits financially. I fear that the degree I've been studying to get will be replaced with analytical AI algorithms that will be better than me in my field by far. An my time at SOU will have to be a much longer stay than i was expecting. But as the first in family to attend college for the first time I'm doing my best to do my family line proud. if you want to keep up with more of my story's ill be doing in my class I will be posting on my https://bsky.app/profile/jacksonj05.bsky.social account exactly when i post. Or you can follow me on Medium and stay tuned that way, till next time.
