§ Tell us about your future plans and goals. Why have you chosen
your field of study? What will you do after you finish your education at NWC?

It may go without saying, that at the
moment my goal is to attend college and get, at the least, a bachelor’s degree.
While at college it is my plan to learn as much as I can and start the process
of being a lifelong student and engulfing myself in every possible experience.
I plan to start working on the creation of my career during and after college
with the ultimate goal being, to work for National Geographic as a photographer
and/or writer. I know throughout my life I will continue to create new goals
and plans to obtain them, but at the moment I see myself enjoying life as an
adventure writer/photographer till the point I will want to lead a calm life. I assume at some point I will want to settle
down and hope to either continue in my education or give back to my community
by becoming a teacher of some sort, but I believe this plan is still a far way
off and does not need details yet.
I have
chosen to pursue journalism because I think it will be beneficial to my goal of
being a lifelong student, but it also contains the three dream careers of my
childhood: photographer, traveler, and writer. My first childhood dream was to be a photographer;
I fell in love with the concept that I could capture beautiful, sad or unique,
moments in an image and preserve them for others to experience. Then I wanted
to travel the world, but not just travel and stay in four star hotels, I wanted
to engulf myself in cultures and situations foreign to me, to eat food most Americans
would gag at, and gain an understanding of and fall in love with everything I
see. My third dream was to be a writer, to tell stories and help others learn
and feel through what I had written. Journalism is the doorway for making my dreams
since childhood come true while also catering to my adult desire for a practical
education and career path.
After I graduate from Northwest
College my goal is to continue my education at a four year university, ideally
The University of Wyoming. I plan to continue my journalism education and
hopefully minor in international relations. I plan to participate in
internships and work the university newspaper. I hope to travel and maybe study abroad. After
I finish my education at NWC, is it my goal to continue to learn as much as I
can and also gain vast and unique experiences in my life that will lead to my professional
goals of being a world-class journalist and photographer.
