Hello, my name is Grace Jonas, also known as Gracie. I am a junior, majoring in public relations with a minor in enterprise studies. After I graduate next spring, I plan to pursue a career in event planning. I'm from a small town just a few minutes south of campus called Noble, where I have lived my whole life.
The thing that excites me the most about Public Relations is the vast variety of options I have in this field. I can choose so many professions and accomplish so much with this degree. Whichever lifestyle I chose, whether it be the fast-paced corporations of New York, or something small and local like an event center, my choices are far from limited.
I am motivated by multiple things. One being my family, who has given endless support in my journey through college. I want to prove to them that I am capable of great things, and most importantly, I want them to be proud of who I am becoming. Another is the goal I have to be financially stable. I do not want to spend my days struggling to pay bills, or questioning how I will feed my family. By finishing school and succeeding in my field of study, I will hopefully leave those worries behind.
Writing has always been an active hobby of mine. Starting in fourth grade, my mother insisted I join a public speaking group, where I would research, write, and memorize a speech of my choosing. I ended up continuing to compete in public speaking contests until I was a junior in high school. I wrote a plethora of speeches in those years, and I feel as though it helped me progress into the writer I am today. I still have a lot to learn, but thanks to those speeches, I had the opportunity to begin my writing experiences at a young age. On top of the speeches, writing has always came in my favor when compared to math or science. My brain does not do math or science. Writing a paper or a discussion post was always something I excelled at compared to my other assignments.
There are many reasons why this degree is suitable for me. Through this writing course, I hope to advance in my skills, and work to move one step closer to achieving my goals.
