Why I wanna be a leader
I feel that the window of time for me to do something awesome, something cool, to try something completely out of the box and out of my comfort zone, is starting to close. I know that I have my whole life to get out there and try new things but I feel like I got into advertising a little late. I spent the first two years of my college career sitting in journalism lectures and general classes wondering what I was doing? Not that there is anything wrong with journalism. It just wasn't what I was passionate about. I've been told if you don't want to e miserable in life you need to follow something that actually want to do. They never say that finding out what you want to do is actually one of the hardest parts. If you asked me when I decided to become an ad major or even when I made the actual switch I couldn't tell you changing majors is something that everyone does in college is almost strange is you start out on one path and follow is straight through for four (or five) years. I mean I could tell you that it was after I took a breather to think and wait tables in my Ma’s pizza shop.
When I got back to Virginia Commonwealth University I became an Ad Major. I want to be a part of that industry because it sounds like something I’ll look back on in years and be like “Whoa, that was crazy” and be glad I was a part of it. I just turned 22 and I’m looking at a possible 8 years of Donald Trump being president.lets face it- one term presidents are few and far in between. I don't mean to be the guy on the street carrying the sign that the devil will reign but its a distinct possibility and if we can learn nothing from the catastrophes that seem to be surrounding us is that we need to not be afraid to bring joy into the world however we can. Now Im not saying that everyone can follow their childhood dream, the world can not support that many ballerinas and magicians. If we majored in the things that we want to be a part of I think the world would be a better place. I might fail as an Ad Major and that is terrifying, actually I'm going to stop writing about it but I hopefully Ill get to say that I failed
I mean, what have I go to lose? I want to gather a team together, make friends, meet people, bring some craziness in the world and kick ass. Advertising is where I belong and I know there are people out there who will be a part of my creative family.When so many people we know are under attack we need to find our families.
