Gerard Wiley Week 2 AssignmentTRANSCRIPT
Before I started the MCBS Program at Full Sail University, I was just working a regular 9-5 at a call center.
I was making decent money, but I had no passion for what I was doing
I did not want to end up stuck working at a Call Center for the rest of my life either!
I considered getting another job at first, but then I realized I just might end up in the same scenario
Why should I expect a better paying job when I don’t have the proper degree I need for it?
I decided to do what I knew was best and go back to school!
This time around I would be more focused and mature about learning as well
It finally felt like something I wanted to do for myself!
I gave my mother a call for some advice as well; ever since its as if she’s gained a new respect for me.
After a few meaningful conversations with my her and my girlfriend, I started looking up other degrees I could actually get at Full Sail.
If I couldn’t find something that I knew I shared a passion for, my plan was to look at different colleges until I did.
While on the Full Sail Page, I came across the “Media Communication” Bachelors Program and was immediately hooked
Because of that, I began reading up on it and the careers it prepared you for
Every career path was something I have always had great interest in!
I called a few more people for advice, researched every and anything that had to do with media communications, and kept at it until finally I was convinced.
I gave my old advisor from Full Sail a call, and he then explained the Program was basically a brand new major offered on campus
We had brief discussion about my goals and interests in life, and he agreed that “Media Communications” would be a perfect fit for me!
Because it was such a new program, there were more faculty than students! I would now be able to get that “individual” attention from my professors.
I have ADHD and the best environment for me to learn is in a classroomwhere I can apply things “hands-on”. The high faculty to student ratio was exactly what i needed.
I now had the opportunity to actually build a “ real" relationship with my professors and I had to immediately take advantage
I let my manager at work know I was planning to return to school, and applied that same day
I knew I would need to balance work and school to pay my rent, so I chose to do the extended program.
This way I would only have one class a month, and more flexibly with my schedule
I knew what i wanted to do, and had a plan of action to get there!
Ever since I decided to pursue my passion for media my life took a turn .. for the better
