The Mark of Higher Education

I have not written a blog since my Summer vacation. College has a way of making you busy, and somehow, maintaining your personal blogsite gets pushed down the importance pole.

Since doing the Educational Opportunity Fund over the summer for 6 weeks, and being in the third week of my Fall Semester, I am starting to realize the mark that higher education leaves on you. Although challenging, I feel that college has made me a smarter individual, and even I am surprised at how well I seem to be doing in my classes. (Italian is quite a challenge, something about learning a language, just doesn't click with me). Nonetheless, I am excited for all that is waiting for me, and I absolutely love my student job in the Political Science department as the Student Assistant.

While pursuing my Communications degree, I've decided I will minor in Political Science. My goal is to graduate with my undergraduate degree with a Grade Point Average that is between the range of 3.8-4.0. I need a high GPA if I plan on obtaining my Masters in Communications from Columbia University(CU has one of the best Journalism programs in the Country). I may not have done my very best in high school, but I will be sure to do my very best in college.

I want higher education to mark my future destination--I want to explore the world and enlighten others in the process.
