Thoughts

 At the present moment I have two things on my mind, and these things are: internship and graduation. My objective for the internship is to be hired in a sport TV, even local one. Hey you have to start somewhere, right??. To be able to gain some experience whether from the technical part like setting the stage or shadowing/assisting production management would be absolutely priceless for me. Paid internship is not a priority, although it would be nice to get pay+ get the knowledge and experience in order to consistently move up.

So far I have completed 51 credits toward the degree and I am one "tinny" step from the graduation which will hopefully take place in June. Entering college was a hell of a experience; it introduce me to a totally new environment. College experience gained at LAGCC enlighten me and reshape my point of view toward many issues. From the time perspective attending LaGuardia was a valuable experience and a good starting point. After graduating I want to continue studying in order to obtain bachelor's degree in a more prominent place such as Hunter College.

According to Jean Paul Sartre "Everything has been figured out except how to live". Well, it is indeed extremely difficult to plan everything down to details and live according to a schedule on daily basis, but I do believe that planning is important. Throughout my life I have made enough mistakes due to the lack of planning, impatience or just laziness and therefore now I am always trying to rethink/consider all the alternatives in order to make right choices and remain on the right path.

Group Projects

Working in the groups is an excellent way to shape/develop interpersonal skills. Throughout various courses at the college I was often assigned to work in a teams/groups with people from all over the world. I have to admitted that I found these activities very interesting, because I always look for a way to interact with people from other places, different backgrounds. To be able to share opinions, exchanging ideas or just simply talk about real life issues with people that see things differently is absolutely priceless and sometimes might fill the blank spaces as well as provide answer to key questions.

During CEP 121 class we often talk about our career choices, we share thoughts, gives each other feedbacks or just simply spend time on a typical bleebleeblee kind of a conversations. I founded that many people whether in a class or in a group share same concerns about career choices, a mean just like me they are not sure whether their decisions are right. In a class we are divided and grouped according to our interests, so its pretty cool to be able to be around people that share my interests, like to interact with people from different backgrounds and all have something interesting to say.

After all, I believe that group work is a good way to get to know people around you from other perspective than just classmates. Throughout the course I really enjoyed listening to other people stories even if some were kind too fantastic to be actually true.

ePortfolio

Throughout the semester I really enjoyed working on my ePortfolio, even though sometimes I felt kind of exhausted after four hours of previous class lecture. ePortfolio gave me an opportunity to express myself in a new way, the so called "decent way" other than facebook or myspace. Thanks to ePortfolio I am able to leave something that is worth seeing by others.

One of the advantages of having an ePortfolio is the fact that it can be use during the job interview. ePortfolio briefly describes who you are, in what classes you have participated in, what projects/researches you have completed and above all it still does have your current resume.

From the time perspective I consider hours allocated into developing my ePortfolio well spend, because as previously mentioned I was given a chance to leave something valuable behind me in order for others to see it and I was introduced to a new program called Netscape Composer which helped me to build my ePortfolio step by step.
