Self Reflection Essay: Being a Communication and Media studies student as St. Norbert has opened my eyes to a lot of different things about life and the field itself. I think, especially at St. Norbert you receive more one-on-one attention than most colleges and it really shows. The small class sizes really allow for the teachers to get to know students at a personal level and vice versa. St. Norbert has helped gauge my interests in the field towards a more direct path and has really shown me what I would be interested in doing post graduation. Speaking of post graduation, I would like to pursue a job related to marketing and promotions. I have had a few internships in which I have gained real world experience in doing so. The first was an internship at a company called Future Omro. I organized and planned many events and had to involve many local businesses in order to make these events happen. I also had another internship with Trust Health Care Systems, helping out in their marketing department. Both of these opportunities were real, eye opening experiences and the work I did will be something I can always look back on.
