Proudest Achievement

I could feel everyone's eyes watching my every move, I became hyper aware that what I was about to bare my soul to everyone. Standing in front of my peers, allowing myself to be judged was the scariest experience of my life — and the most freeing. I never once thought I would have the confidence to run for an elected position, but exactly one week ago I was standing at the podium ready to fight for the position of secretary. After a night of drinking some liquid courage I impulsively declared my candidacy to be Akbayan's next years secretary. Fast-forward two weeks and I was a nervous wreck constantly questioning if I was good enough and if I deserve the position. Everyone was telling me they believed in me, but I couldn't bring myself to believe in me. After talking with some friends and mentors, I finally sat down and began writing out my thoughts. The more I wrote, the more I realized how badly I wanted to give back and improve the organization that gave me...

Student trend features

1. Identify the trend in each story? The trend in the first story is about the recent change to mobile ticketing. The other story is about emotional support animals. 2. Which story appealed to you more and why? While I am a huge dog lover, I found the first story about mobile ticketing more appealing because I am a frequent event and concert goer.

Favorite/least favorite class

Like clockwork he tells the same story over and over again and eventually I start to tune him out. I check my phone 10 times a minute praying time would pass by faster.  Right when the clock turns to 10:15AM I bolt out of class.  I came in excited to learn about mass communication and how to effectively communicate with an audience, but I absolutely learned nothing in MCOM 72: Mass Communication and Society. I honestly cannot remember a single concept I learned.  For a class that is all about mass communication, I felt the communication was definitely lacking.  With only a few classes left, our professor disappeared and was replaced with guest speaker Rigo Chacon with no absolutely no reason provided. On the other hand, I have been blessed to have amazing classes like MCOM 100W: Writing Workshop: Mass Communications. I prefer classes that challenge me and teach relevant skills I need for my future career.  An easy A sound...
