What I've Been Up to Recently

Hello everyone!

I will begin by saying that I spent the first two months of my summer with Kaplan Test Prep everyday preparing myself for the LSAT. This was more like a wake up call for me. I knew the time would come when I would have to focus on this test if I want to accomplish my future career. So I cut out most of the social aspects of my life and studied everyday at Borders with a cup of coffee. But I guess I saw it as an early start to prepare myself for what law school is going to be like. Along with studying for the LSAT I was offered the opportunity to be an intern with The Florida Bar. I work in the Public Information Office, where I get to assist with media and communications. I was very welcomed by the office staff and soon became close to them. They prepared space in the office for me to work and they even made sure I had name tag to put on my desk so everyone knows who I am.

Going into my last year of college I feel very excited but still very nervous about life after college. Although I am graduating in Spring 2011 I decided to finish my major courses such as Public Relations Practicum, Corporate Communications, Principles of Advertising and Design Practicum this Fall semester. Some of these classes will teach me how to produce a campaign booklet using a real life client as well as help to prepare me for life after college and how to market myself properly for future jobs. These courses will also be very useful in preparing me for my Capstone that I must pass to be eligable to graduate. My Design Practicum class, which is one of favorite classes challenges me with my graphic design creativity and enhances my skills with working in groups. I plan to devote much time to all my classes this semester and put forth an honest effort to not just do enough to pass, but to really seek all the knowledge I can from my professors while I still have them around.

Outside of the classroom I am involved with other extracurricular activties such as The FAMU Pre-Law Chapter of Phi Alpha Delta Law Fraternity, Int., I will be taking LSAT test prep classes at Kaplan, and also mentoring college age students. I also want to spend some time on other hobbies of mine such as reading, writing, and traveling.
