2. Before I started the MCBS Program I was lost
and confused on what I wanted to pursue in my
life.

3. I had graduated high school and was attending
Parkland Community College with no goal in
sight.

4. I had always thought I wanted to go to
school for music, to get a degree in vocal
performance.

5. So after a year at community college, I
transferred to Illinois State University to
obtain a Vocal Performance Bachelor’s
Degree.

6. But then after I tried that for a year and a
half, I knew it wasn't where I wanted my
future career to end up.

7. I love music and always will, but I truly didn’t
have passion to be a professional singer
and without a teaching degree, a music
career would not be smart.

8. Because of that I told myself that I needed to
get out before it was too late and focus my
heart and mind on finding my passion.
.

9. It took some time and courage to tell
people, including my family, that I wanted to
change my mind on college for the second
time.

10. Because of that I let my parents know that I
wanted to stop wasting my time and money
on a music degree, and they ended up
supporting me completely.

11. While finishing out my last semester of the
music program, I started reviving old
interests, like making and editing videos and
recording audio.

12. After I made a YouTube channel and had started
regularly recording web-shows, podcasts, and
voice over work, I realized that this was something
I loved to do and could see myself doing it.

13. Because of that I found a new love and interest in
video editing, podcasts, broadcasting, and media,
and started researching schools that I could
pursue this passion as a career.

14. I had looked at a few different schools and
degree programs, including Full Sail University
where my brother had just graduated with a
Music Production degree.

15. Until finally I decided that Full Sail University's
Media Communications Bachelor of Science
program was what I wanted to pursue.

16. I did the all the work to apply and get
started, and in March 2014 I started my
journey through the Media Communications
program.

17. And ever since I decided to pursue my passion for
media I have been extremely happy with my
experience and have learned a lot in just a little over
three months at Full Sail University doing something I
enjoy!
