Towards the end of secondary school I decided to learn sign language and privately seemed a tutor to gain a qualification following which I advanced to Level 2 at the Nottinghamshire Deaf Society, with whom I volunteered for some time. However my most recent endeavour was starting my own business, with the support of my mum, MascotsNottingham Limited.

I grew up in a household where education was seen as a form of self-improvement and empowerment. Being raised in rural Central California by two Filipino immigrants who had nothing more than a high school education, my family did not have an educated or intellectual history I could look up to. That is, until my mother decided to get a college education at the age of 45. I must have been in middle school at the time, before which the word “college” was never really spoken or talked about and I could honestly say I only had a vague idea of what it even was. Rather than having the traditional sit down talk with my parents about higher education, my mom clearly spoke to me through example. I distinctly remember times where I would be her study buddy, and while doing so, I found myself leisurely enjoying the pages of her science textbooks. Instead of asking her questions related to her upcoming text, I inquisitively asked juvenile questions like, “How do the genes make us?” Today I know that this is a very big and complex question that we are still trying to answer. Yet at that moment, I wanted an answer, but mother did not have the solution, nor did the textbook. That was the birth of my pursuit of scientific career.

My father always tells me, “Find a job you love and you will never work a day in your life.” I believe in living my life by this mantra. When faced with the decision of which career path to pursue, I reflected upon my past experiences and tried to determine which were the most positive. I tried to determine which experiences I found challenging, which ones I found enjoyable, and which experiences I would like to be a part of my daily life. There were two experiences that most influenced my decision. The first was my experience as a counselor in a summer camp for children with severe developmental delays. There, I was the primary caregiver for these children, helping them with all their basic needs while also giving them a summer filled with

Furthermore, a public relations career is much more closely grouped with media relations these days than journalism. In the book, Making it in Public Relations: An Insider’s Guide, it is said that Media relations is the most dominant function of public relations. Its basic role is the origination of press information and the handling of requests from the media about a specialist’s subjects and activities. After all, the main goal of specialists is to present a positive public image of their client to the public (Mogel). The possible types of clients and fields vary wildly from each other.
