Currently, I am a senior at the University of Missouri-St. Louis. My major is Communications and I expect to get my BA on May 15, 2010. That's right, just communications in general and nothing else--to answer the question that is no doubt looming in your mind as you read this. What do I want to do with it? I have no idea! I do plan on continuing to get my Masters in Public Policy Administration. This degree is used for Human Resources Management and/or Non-Profit Organization Management.
I am currently a babysitter/nanny for a local agency around St. Louis while I am finishing up school. This provides the little income I take in these days. I also have an internship for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. I manage their social media sites. I am also about to start volunteering at the Central Institute for the Deaf every friday for the next couple months for one of my classes.
I don't know what I want to be when I grow up. I want to be happy and I want to enjoy what I do. I am hoping that schooling will help provide a path for me--some direction. I would love my career to focus around making other people's lives better somehow. I have confidence that God has a plan for my life bigger than I could imagine so I don't want to limit the possibilities.
I love so many things. Literally, the simplest things make me happy. I am generally pretty easy going. I am finding as I get closer to thirty that I have higher expectations for myself. I don't want to settle for mediocre becuase I feel I deserve the best out of life. I realize the more I put into living the more I will get out of it. I want to do what it takes to be happy. I am not one of those girls who is pining after marriage or who is defined by marriage and a family. I want those things but if it never happens I know I will still be happy.
I am very loyal in my relationships. I think I am a very fun person to be around. I rely on my sense of humor to help me cope with most circumstances I encounter. I am fairly anal-retentive...I love for things to be organized and orderly. I am slightly OCD, which is something I have noticed has also increased and still increasing as I age. When there are so many things I can't control in life (namely other people) it makes me feel relieved when I take charge of the little things that I can control.
I have a very cynical and sarcastic attitude most of the time...I'm not gonna lie. It's who I am. I won't change for anyone so take it or leave it. That's me in a nut-shell.
