Living out my life?

I am contemplating my life and the future of PR, marketing and surprisingly acting. I am a student at the University of North Texas who’s majoring in Journalism with a concentration in PR, and a minor in marketing. I have a strong passion for acting and many have encouraged me to pursue my dreams. I still I have a love for helping people so I would still like to do Pr and marketing work in non-profits. I guess it’s always good to have plan B if everything does not work out. I have always been one to keep a plan and I don’t plan to chase my dreams and live on the streets. Life is getting pretty crazy for me I am graduating a semester earlier than I am supposed to be. I am happy yet scared, I don’t know exactly what I want to do with my life, but I must say I do have a good start. I guess all I can do is let go and let god, as my mom use to say. It’s hard to try to step out on your own when your use to being surrounded by so many counterparts. (My sisters in my case) I need to find some liquid courage before now and my birthday. I need a CHANGE! Wow this word has become an anthem in my life and I guess the country as well!

A Civil Debate

I am watching the debates I Austin and I am a little bit upset because my friend gave me the wrong channel and I couldn’t find it until half way through it. I really studied the candidates and how they reacted to each other’s comments. Obama had me on my feet the whole time. He was so calm whenever Hilary attacked anything about his campaign. He just sat there and pretended or maybe he actually did right down something in his book. It was so hilarious to me. It seemed like he was just looking ahead all of this--the debate and Hilary-- to the future of his Presidency. It seemed as though he knows he has already won but he just wanted to be nice and keep it civil. It’s amazing the things that go on right in front of you but you have to really be looking for it to notice it. He always looked Hilary in the eyes and she seemed to avoid his eyes. I don’t know what that was about but it told me something. I just hope the outcome I expect happens!

Change is coming!

So it’s the day of the Barack Obama rally and I am stuck in school wishing to God that I had the courage to skip and go out. I am so mad that I missed it that I think about it almost everyday. My sister got to shake his hand and talk to him just because she told him that our mom was a police officer. It would have been the happiest day of my life if I had got to go. I am still planning the day that I will get to meet him. I believe in his campaign and I know that he will be our next president. It makes me feel really good to know that this day will come before I die or am really old. I don’t think MLK would have ever thought he would see the day…or maybe he did and that’s why he did the things he did for desegregation. Wow is all I can say this country ahs really changed!

The Downfall of Humanity

It is interesting to me that so many set up these non-profit organizations just for some tax write off or the publicity it gets them. These days almost every celebrity or person of wealth has a non-profit organization. I think that journalist should go in and investigate all of these allege non-profits who aren’t really doing anything for the community. They should also investigate the ones who are just doing things that are in the spot light at the time. The phrase there is no selfless deed has always bothered me. It is a wonder that our world isn’t a much better place with all of these non-profit organizations around. Some of these “phony” ones are just taking money from the ones that are actually doing something. If someone doesn’t put a stop to it soon we will surely see a downfall in interest in people genuinely doing good just to benefit humanity as a whole.

A commonality between brethren

In the case studies of the Valdez Exxon and the Blue Fly there are examples of how to do the right public relations as well as what happens when the wrong course of action is taking. It saddens me that our society allows such cruel behavior to be bestowed on each other. It is no one’s right to treat others in such a manner. In the book cosmopolitanism we learn that if the world cold share one positive mind set, than we would all be better off. If we were descent to our neighbors, shared common values and conduct ourselves by one common law than such horrific behavior demonstrated by Exxon would not ever take place. The lack of moral and social responsibility that Exxon showed would not be tolerated in a world that went by the rules set in the book cosmopolitanism. It is no enough that they disrupted the continuum that our world thrives on, but they knowingly took advantage of their own brethren. If we all held the same social obligations that the CEO of Blue Fly upheld not only could be peace on earth but also a positive commonality between all who dwell on earth.
