Student Speakers

Instead of having our usual class all the way in the geological science building, we were able to just go downstairs to the first floor lounge for our class 2 weeks ago. We sat on the comfortable couches and listened to four different students and one fig leader talk about the different classes they were taking in 4 different sequences in the journalism school. I learned new things about each sequence that I had not known before, which made me question which sequence I really wanted to be in. Although at first I set out to do broadcast, after listening to these students now I am between broadcast and convergence because you are able to do all things in convergence instead of concentrating on solely broadcast.
These students were more helpful than professors and TA's because they were only a year or two older than us and they were able to tell us truthfully, which classes they liked and disliked and if they had stuck with their major or if they had switched to another one and why. I really liked what the girl who is in convergence talked about because it made it seem like she was doing a little bit of everything, which got me very interested in this specific sequence. However, when the fig leader, who is in the broadcast sequence started talking about what she was doing and what she had done to get to where she is, I also got very excited and truly wanted to do broadcast. However, at the end when we had the opportunity to listen to the questions other kids had and these upper class men's answers, I was and am still confused on which sequence I believe is the best for me. However, I think this helped me open my eyes and allowed to realize there were other sequences than broadcasting that could grasp my attention and there are other sequences I can do besides broadcasting that still incorporate what I would like to do later on in my life.
