Personal Introspection

I came to college looking for an education, wanting to gain knowledge so that I could have a successful future in life, in my job, and in my pursuit of happiness. I knew the window of opportunity had just been opened for me and that by the end of my four years (well, four and a half years) here; the window would be propped wide open. I was fully prepared to pick my purpose for going to college in the first place, which was my major. I came into Shippensburg as a Business Information Systems major. I thought that I had my life planned out and I was going to be ready to go, but I wasn’t. It turns out that BIS was not the right major for me. I knew that I wanted to work in business with my father some day. I knew I would have to speak a lot and sell myself to potential customers. So when I sat down and really thought about it, with a little help from advisors and such, I came to the conclusion that speech communication would be the best major for me.

I already thought of myself as a good talker. I just needed to be shown the right path to take, and I am very happy with the path that was drawn out for me. Today, I still am happy with the major I have chosen because it has taught me so much more than I ever thought I could know abo


My first communication class was Intro to Human Communication where I had to learn to be an empathetic listener. We would go over many exercises through the semester where we would be tested on our listening skills. At the end of the course my listening skills were as close to 100% as they were going to come. I began to understand people and teachers so much better. I was able to listen to people from their frame of reference and this helped me to not only understand others better but I also learned more about myself. This promotes better communication and can also help people in problem solving.

This habit encourages getting the most important things done first. I find that I do follow that concept but the things most important to me may not be viewed as the most important things by people looking at me from the outside.

I do have short term goals and work hard to reach them. The only long term goal I have is my career. When asked about my long term goals, I usually answer with a secure job, a family and a good life. Although I may know what I am going to with my career, I still consider myself to be a very spontaneous person. I feel not having a set plan for life is a very good attitude for anyone to have. Why would anyone want to live their life as if it was supposed to be in a set schedule?
