Hello Blog World,
My name is Selina Davis, but you will only know me as Comm Rocker since this was the alias I chose. I am 26 and have been chipping away at college-level school since 2003. I was a bit lost in the beginning of this journey, but I am charging full speed now.
I was a business major until about a few years ago. I took the required Public Speech class at West Valley, and the learning haunted me for years. The tools I learned in the speech class were used more in my everyday life and I noticed I may never use Microeconomics. Besides, with the communication basics, I had already felt a change in my attitude towards myself and others. The switch of my bachelor’s goal was effortless and I never looked back. I graduated at West Valley College with an AA in Communications, and transferred in the fall of 2011 at SJSU.
I am a dedicated student, full-time employee at a local insurance broker’s office, girlfriend, sister, and friend. Life can be hard to manage while balancing a
full load at SJSU, and work. Life actually seems like a difficult and stressful blur until the grades are posted. But it will be completely worth it once I receive the single most expensive piece of paper in the spring of 2013- my diploma.
Between school and work, I appreciate hiking, traveling, attending concerts, working out, cooking, and spending time with loved ones. I have a list of things I wish to accomplish in my lifetime such as:
1. Teaching English in a different country
2. Visiting some or all of the 7 Wonders of the World
3. Sing Karaoke in Japan
4. Take the Trans-Siberian Railway
5. Learn Spanish fluently
Good luck in the class everyone!
Cheers,
Selina Davis aka Comm Rocker
Hey Comm Rocker,
ReplyDeleteYou might of blew your cover a bit! No big deal but do realize if you share some personal info it could be easily found with a google search of your name. But these days most everything is no longer private or confidential. I have a similar story with my college experience. I went to community college for 1 year in 2003 and then joined the military. It wasn't till after I got out of the Navy that I decided to go back to school and take it seriously. Further I was also a Business Major and switched to Comm because I enjoyed the learning process much more and I liked the fact that it was very practical. I think you understand exactly what higher education is about when you said, "Besides, with the communication basics, I had already felt a change in my attitude towards myself and others." College is mainly about growing as a person and I believe you have chose a well rounded Major that will allow you to stay very versatile in todays job market.

Not sure what you mean by, "You blew your cover," but this post was suppose to get a little personal. Enjoy the class!
