Gerard Wiley Week 2 Assignment

1. Before I started the MCBS Program at Full Sail University,
I was just working a regular 9-5 at a call center.

2. I was making decent money, but I had no passion for what I was
doing

3. I did not want to end up stuck working at a Call Center for the rest of my life
either!

4. I considered getting another job at first,
but then I realized I just might end up in the same scenario

5. Why should I expect a better paying job when I don’t have the proper degree I need for it?

6. I decided to do what I knew was best and go back to school!

7. This time around I would be more focused and mature about learning as well

8. It finally felt like something I wanted to do for
myself!

9. I gave my mother a call for some advice as well;
ever since its as if she’s gained a new respect for me.

10. After a few meaningful conversations with my her and my girlfriend,
I started looking up other degrees I could actually get at Full Sail.

11. 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.

12. While on the Full Sail Page, I came across the “Media Communication”
Bachelors Program and was immediately hooked

13. Because of that, I began reading up on it and the careers it prepared you
for

14. Every career path was something I have always had great interest in!

15. 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.

16. 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

17. We had brief discussion about my goals and interests in life,
and he agreed that “Media Communications” would be a perfect fit for me!

18. 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.

19. I have ADHD and the best environment for me to learn is in a classroom
where I can apply things “hands-on”. The high faculty to student ratio was
exactly what i needed.

20. I now had the opportunity to actually build a “ real" relationship with my
professors and I had to immediately take advantage

21. I let my manager at work know I was planning to return to school,
and applied that same day

22. I knew I would need to balance work and school to pay my rent,
so I chose to do the extended program.

23. This way I would only have one class a month, and more flexibly
with my schedule

24. I knew what i wanted to do, and had a plan of action to get
there!

25. Ever since I decided to pursue my passion for media my life took a turn ..
for the better
