Personal Introduction

My name is Christine Knight and I am 21 years old. I graduated from La Joya Senior High School in 2006 and I am currently attending school at TSTC Harlingen. My educational plans for the next several years is to hopefully graduate within the next year and a half and I say hopefully because I’ve had many obstacles to overcome and it’s taken me a while to graduate. My long term career plans is to become a graphic designer and hopefully open my own little business. I also would like to open a book shop and maybe an animal shelter with a veterinarian office inside because there is no animal shelter or veterinarian close by where I live. This past Thursday my cocker spaniel Bella got poisoned and it was at night and all the veterinarians where closed and the only one I found that could come if it was an emergency would charge me $180 and I had to pay up front and then she would charge for a lot of other stuff. I told her that I didn’t have the money and if there was a way that I could pay in payments and she said very coldly that that wasn’t an option. The next day I was able to take her to a veterinarian and when I got there I learned that she had been having seizures all night and I thought she was just shaking. I was wrong. I had to put a deposit of $150 and hospitalize her. Thankfully the next day she made a fully recovery and she was back to her lovely, annoying self. I think that communication, both written and oral is very important to my profession because I have to speak with my customer or employee to see what they would like for their logo or advertisement. I am working in Barnes and Noble right now and communication is extremely important because I have to communicate with the customers to see what book they are looking for or what kind of book they want. Written communication is important because I always have to leave notes to other coworkers to tell them what’s been done and what needs to be done today or tomorrow, and what happened throughout the day. I expect this course to help me achieve in communicating a bit more written and orally. I would like to write better than I do.
