GOALS 

My ultimate personal goals are to become a reporter of international and political news. I want to become 

proficient in broadcast and print journalism. I would like to have the opportunity to report on stories that 

effect those who are disadvantaged and underrepresented in the media. In college plan to major in 

journalism and minor in political sciences. I am hoping to attend my dream school, Howard University 

next year which I have already been accepted into. After college I would like to join the peace corps for a 

couple of years because I love to serve and I think it will help give me more of a global prospective.
