I came to Manhattanville College intending to major in Dance. Although I had an injury that set me back in middle and high school, I chose to ignore it and continue dancing. My freshman year I spent in all dance related classes, and spent little time thinking about other majors or activities. Half way through my sophomore year, I got injured again, and had to rethink everything. I started taking classes in many different subjects, including communications, science, and English. I enjoyed my communications classes, and thought about how I could integrate dance with them. From that point on, I have looked for different ways to relate the two, such as working at a dance magazine or doing something like PR for a dance company. By taking a wide range of communications classes, I have tried to incorporate dance into each one, and I am interested to see how this class will allow me to do that.

I am not sure what I want to do once I graduate college. My plan is to do different internships that allow me to understand the different worlds of communications, and to see which one fits me best. Right now I am doing a graphic design internship, which allows me to make posters and be creative around Manhattanville. Although I am enjoying it, I am not sure if this is the path I will choose. I hope to have another internship over the summer in a completely different field, to test my creativity in a different light.

This class will allow me to write about many different topics, and view another part of communications. It is different from many of the communications courses I have taken, and I hope to gain a new perspective of what the outcome of my career will be.
