February 2005

This semester will be the finale for my experiences at Holyoke Community College. In the coming fall semester I will be atttending UMass Amherst as a Commonwealth Scholar in their Communications school. I plan to further my studies of systems and their effects in current media and the advantages of organizational communcation.

During my time at HCC I have been able to narrow my vast interests into what I know to be a more productive and concentrated area of study. The past two years have been full of diverse courses from Greek Tragedy, "The Deconstruction of Power", Drawing, Creative Non-fiction, and multiple psychology courses. These introductions to different collections of knowledge have enabled me to realize that even though one is multi-faceted and may have varying interests, it is important to find the most versitile skills one has to offer in order to progress.
