Michael Angrosino as, all things human, requires one of the most
basic human needs: communication.
So, though journalism ended up not being the path I chose to go
down, it is something that I believe will continue to help me in the way
that I gather information. Ive learned the importance of building
rapport, asking the right questions, actively listening and upholding an
ethical standard. The Communication program has also prepared me to
know that what is ethical to me, may not be in another culture and that
I have to be willing to accept that.
At one point in my college career, I received a piece of advice,
Dont plan anything, because you might miss or take for granted the
unplanned. Though I dont know how comfortable I am with not
planning for the future, I see the value in the words offered. Its not
necessarily about how you get to your end goal, because there are so
many paths that can lead to the same outcome. Instead, have the
skills to achieve your goals, that way, if the plan changes, you can
adapt and accomplish them. The principles of communication will
continue to be present in my life and in my future profession. They will
be the skills, the tools that I use to accomplish my ever-changing
ambitions.
