“I always knew I wanted to write and tell stories,” said Trey Brown, a junior, creative writing student at Wright State with big dreams of sharing his story. With the desire to one day become a writer and storyteller, Brown is working towards making his way to the top.
Having grown up in Dayton, Brown’s dreams are anything but small. He started off in 2016 as a film student wanting to be a director but realized he wanted to focus more on writing.
“I’d love to go into movies; I like how they’re made, the stories that people can tell,” Brown said.
Be it screenwriting, book writing or even writing music, Brown knew what he wanted to do. The beauty of storytelling, in any shape or form, is a passion for him.
Brown aims to one day publish his work. He wrote a graphic novel when he was nine and has written for the Guardian Newspaper in the past. His articles for the student publication reflect his interest for the Hollywood scene through reviews of popular films.
As this year’s recipient of the Dion scholarship, Brown has demonstrated a passion for English and held an excellent GPA throughout his college career. Deeming it as his proudest college moment, Brown’s ambition is living up to the scholarship.
Brown has always liked the first day of school and meeting professors; that feeling of “school’s back” is exciting. Aside from his excitement of the first day of classes, his favorite memory at Wright State is an amusing one: “I tried sushi here for the first time – that was awesome. That’s lame but it’s still cool to me,” Brown added.
Brown plans to graduate in 2020. He hopes to someday write a graphic novel and publish his work to be appreciated by eager readers (or maybe eager movie-goers.)
