Hello, my name is Cecilia Hernandez I am a sophomore and a Digital Communication major
with a possible minor in either Business Administration or Management of Technology.
These are two minors that I've been considering pursuing, because after graduation I plan
on becoming a concert photographer.
This will enable me to travel the world and take pictures of aspiring bands, well known
bands, and capture really eye-catching images of these live performances.
Because of this, I will need a background in business and I will also need to be pretty
tech savy, considering a lot of the photos that I post, even now, are on social media.
So, I will definitely need a good knowledge about technology and business.
In terms of my Hero Story it definitely is a Joseph Campbell adaptation, and it starts
when I first got to college.
Originally, I was planning on pursuing a major in music, either Vocal Performance or Music
Education considering it's something that I'm very familiar with.
I was in choir for about nine or ten years, I come from a musical background, my family
has lots of musicians in it, so it was something that I was definitely comfortable with.
However, I did hear a call to leave my ordinary world and to pursue something a little bit
bigger than myself.
When that lead me to Communication, it was a bit startling, very very far from music,
far from my comfort zone, but was something that I knew I had to do in order to be a little
bit more financially stable and to gain a little bit more of a marketable skillset.
In order to advance in a competitive job market I knew that this change had to happen.
Now, what I didn't know is that it would eventually lead me to find a new hobby and
a new passion in concert photography.
It's kind of something that fell into my lap, again music is something that I'm comfortable
with, so going to concerts, seeing bands was something that I was very very close to me.
I was still able to be involved in a music based environment even though I wasn't performing
myself.
Throughout the years I've been able to take pictures, and I've gotten some really good
feedback on it.
So I decided to post them on social media to take a leap of faith, to cross that threshold
from hobby into possible career choice and to combine Communication and the marketing
aspect of it with the creative side of photography and still being involved in a music atmosphere.
Now in terms of this class and how it can fit in with all of that, I definitely want
to polish my professional communication skills.
Being in a competitive job market in a business environment, because I do want to make a small
business for myself with concert photography, I am going to have to brush up on professional
jargon, how to conduct myself in a professional manner, so I'm eager to see how this class
will help me out in terms of that.
Another goal of mine is to learn how to manage my time a little bit more effectively.
I've heard online courses can definitely help with that, and this is the first time
I've done an online course, this is all very new to me.
But I'm eager to learn how it works, I'm eager to learn how to manage my time in a
better way.
I will say, I have heard a couple pros and cons when it comes to online learning, some
of my friends have said that it helped with their time management skills, that it motivated
them to be more on top of their work.
However, I have heard of some of my friends saying that they kind of let their work slip
under the radar.
So, it's definitely going to be a learning experience but one that I am excited to take on.
My third and final goal is to carry what I've learned, not only in my professional life,
but in my academic life as well.
I'm a communication major, I'm going to be taking a lot more communication courses
and these are skills and lessons that I'm going to be able to carry throughout all of
my courses, throughout the entirety of my college education and I can't wait to get
started.
Thank you for watching.
