This semester I have learned a lot about myself. When this semester started I did not
know what to expect because these were my first communication courses. I learned to be more confident with my
writing and speaking, especially public speaking which was previously a huge
fear of mine. There are still
things I need to work on, for example being more vocal in class discussions and
sharing my thoughts, but at least I now know these are things I need to work
on. I have a few goals to work
towards as a communications major, and it is time to start making my goals
reality. One of my goals is to become a sports broadcaster. Through my business
and professional speaking course I had the opportunity of an informational
interview with a broadcaster for the San Jose Giants, and I learned about the
steps that need to be taken in order to achieve this goal. Although this is just one of my dreams,
I am taking steps in the right direction by meeting people in that field and
trying to make connections. I am
only a junior and I still have a lot of improvements to make with my writing
and speaking, but I hope by completing my communications degree it will give me
the opportunity to actually accomplish my dreams.
You still have a whole year of growth ahead of you in order to become a better communicator and to build up your speaking confidence. Luckily, this school is a great training zone for these things, and you learn so much about yourself with each class you take. I hope you achieve your dream of becoming a sports broadcaster. If you keep talking to the right people and build your network of professional contacts, then you can definitely get your foot in the door.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Vera that one of the goals in college is to "talk to the right people." In order to achieve a goal like yours, your personal network has to expand as large as it can be. So you have enough resources to pursue your target.
