Starting out with this degree I was a bit hesitant on if this is what I’d like to do for a living. The great thing is that up until now half way through I think I’m in the right place. Being able to create the content needed to help people advertise whether it be websites, videos or even promotional flyers. I can see that all the work I’ve done in life leads up to this. It’s really awesome to finally realize that this is what I want to do for a living. I’ve struggled with finding my niche but now I think I have it. My current job at STC has helped me learn to create the content needed for businesses to thrive and push advertisements or products. Currently I’ve been working on materials for our summer guitar and theory courses and it’s opened my eyes that I can not only do one job well but if I was given enough time I can do what our whole PR department does well. It’s not every day I find myself thinking this way, mostly I’m struggling with myself wondering if it’s possible and how but recently I’ve found that I can push myself to get it done. I believe I’ve grown a lot and that’s thanks to the assignments I’ve gotten from work and during this degree. Adding Digital Design and Usability to the list of things I didn’t know before but now know is great! I can now gut a website and tell people what’s wrong with it and how it can be improved. Before I was only able to dissect them from a design point of view but now I can go in and really see how their headers and key words affect their SEO. Usability is a pretty big problem for the STC website and I hope I can bring some good ideas to the table to help. Here’s to another class down, one more closer to Graduation in the Fall! See ya!

I believe Obama said it best in his commencement speech to the graduating class of 2020, “don’t be afraid, do what you think is right, and build a community” these three are such great advice.
