Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Society in general:
"Communication major is the easiest major there is! What do you even do learn how to talk and what are you going to do with it?"
How I responded:
Communication may be very broad but that is part of the beauty. Find what you like about it and run with it. And to all those people that think a Communication major is the "easy way out", if communication was so easy then why are there so many arguments, misunderstandings and even break ups because of a lack of communication?
Experiences and challenges that shaped me
In third grade I found out that I have dyslexia. This makes reading and spelling more difficult. As I grew up school was hard therefor I didn't like it. Over time I have found that if I take my time and do a couple extra edits people don't notice.
