Everyone starts off college with all these hopes and dreams. After the first year, many people change those dreams and they find out what they really want to do with their life.

I went into my first year majoring in Communications with a concentration in Digital Media. My goal was to work on the radio. I loved broadcasting. I loved how so many people could hear and listen to what you say. But near the middle of my first semester, I r
ealized that this is not the path for me.

I decided to change my concentration to Public Relations and add a minor in Business. I changed this because I feel as though I am better in organization and planning. I want to plan and put on events, such as concerts in stadiums, galas, fundraisers. I hope that by the time I graduate Longwood University, I am still planning on this career.

Freshman year was a year full of changes. I moved in with total strange, I lived 2.5 hours away from my family, and I joined a Sorority, Sigma Kappa. From only being initiated in Sigma Kappa for one semester, I have already seen myself grow and gain confidence. When I graduate I hope to have made a difference in not only my sorority, but also in other people’s lives. I do not want to sit on the sidelines. I want to help change our society for the better.

Love,
Your Freshman Self
