Before I started the MCBS Program, I was very unhappy with how my life
was turning out. I had begun to settle for less than what I had always expected to accomplish. I had always thought I would make a difference and
experience new exciting things. But then I got comfortable with
just doing what others expected me to do. I was doing what people were telling me I should, instead of doing something that made me feel fulfilled in my life. Because of that I started to
become very discouraged with my life and where it was headed. Because of
that a day came where I finally had it with my situation and development of my future.
Because of that I started really thinking about what I had a passion
for and where I really wanted to be going with my life. I came to a conclusion that if I were going to be able to accomplish my dreams and goals I would need a degree in my field of choice. Once that decision was made I sat down and began to explore the different schools and programs that were available and
offered degrees in the field that I chose. I decided right away I needed to set specific goals, not just for graduating, but for after graduation as well. I chose my dream job, and I also formulated a plan on how to get there. I was very meticulous in speaking with and talking to a very select
group of peers and close friends to help me take the best path. When I was making this plan I had a unique circumstance on my hands that I had to also consider. I am a single mother so every choice I was making had to positively impact my son's life as well. So once I had all of the proper elements in place to positively achieve my goals I have been in the process of getting all of the fundamentals I will need to become a successful television producer.
The picture I chose is an inspirational poster that has my son in it. It serves as reminder for me how I should look at situations. Also it reminds me that it is okay to have dreams and to follow them.
As I read my two classmates original stories I realized that I was missing that personal touch. I felt like my reasoning in my original post did not represent my own real story. So with the revised version I really wanted to get my story and where I was at the time I chose to follow my dreams across. I really connected with each of their story because it felt like a person was telling it where as mine felt more forced.
