Introduction

So first off, Chatterbox is a nickname that I have had since I was a toddler and I guess that it speaks for itself. I have taken many online classes in the past but this is my first time using a blog. Technically, I am a junior. I have a beautiful three-year-old daughter and she is the main reason why I have taken so many courses online. In a nutshell, she is my whole world.

In trying to accommodate my hectic schedule, I have attended four different colleges (not including SJSU) in the pursuit of completing my education. I applied to SJSU three times in the past, and although I was admitted, I had to turn down my acceptance three times. This is my first semester at SJSU and as you can probably imagine, I am very excited and relieved to finally be taking courses here.

I have entertained the idea of majoring in many different subjects, all the way from Economics to Biology and Society. A few years ago I had the opportunity to have an amazing professor for a Communications course at one of the junior colleges that I attended, and she inspired me in many ways. I decided that Communications was a good fit for me and I love the versatility that I feel the major has to offer.

Aside from school, I am very creative and I have many hobbies. I love painting, sewing (mostly clothes/costumes for my daughter), building things, cooking (everything from home-style dinners to crème brûlée), and I play the saxophone and piano.

I am really looking forward to seeing what this class has to offer both toward my academic goals and to me personally as well.
