Trojan for Life
Until this past week, I had forgotten the meaning of being a Trojan. I realized how much I did not take advantage of being at USC, Annenberg School of Communication in particular. Professors are engaging industry professionals and admirable scholars. They are true experts in the field of communication. Sadly, during my short but sweet time as an undergraduate student, I failed to reap the benefits of having an amazing career center, one which boasts an alumni connection so strong and unparallelled, and all of the numerous resources around me.
Recently, I decided that I wante to go back to school. I'm tossing the idea of earning an MBA or Masters in Communication Management. In doing some research, I thought it best that I attend different events on campus to really see if USC's graduate schools are for me.
On Wednesday, I went to a small group discussion with a self-made Public Relations guru name Bob Gold. There were 6 students total, and the discussion was very small yet informative. Bob Gold said something very interesting that I will probably always remember. He said, "The only difference between you and me is that I have an extensive knowledge about this subject matter. That is the only difference. You can do it too. It is what you make of it." I really thought about that.
Then today, I went to a prospective graduate school student orientation and learned so much about what exactly having a Masters in Communication Management can do for me. I realized how much I missed the college environment and most of all how much I missed learning. Aside from the free parking, free continental breakfast, free pretty pamphlets and flyers, and a free fabulous lunch, I took away so much more from this past week at USC than ever before. Leaving USC, I felt a huge desire to achieve something great.
I think my life's about to change, but one thing's for sure. I will always be a Trojan for life. Let's hope I get accepted... again.
