Advising appointment

 

I attended a meeting with Professor Coopman to see where I stand in regards to graduating with my communications studies degree.  I was surprised to see how close I am to graduating!  I have only 7-8 additional classes that I need to complete before I can graduate. I came to San Jose State as a transfer student 3 years ago.  I was a marketing major for the first year and realized that it was not for me.  I then took a semester off to revaluate my situation and what I wanted to do.  The time off really helped me because I did not have a very good second year and even contemplated dropping out.  After deciding to become a communications major, I finally had a path that I thought I could be happy with and pursue.  I am almost done with my first semester as a communications major and I have really enjoyed what the major has to offer.  It has helped me grow and I can see myself gradually getting better with my public speaking and writing skills. I have also picked up my grades and hope to finish these last two weeks strong.  My meeting today (5/10/12) with Professor Coopman made me realize that if I keep on the path that I am right now I will be done by this time next year.  Knowing this will give me the extra motivation that I need to finish up my tenure here at San Jose State.
