When thinking of college I couldn't find anything I was interested in until attending my uncle's funeral wake and it hit me.. Mortician. I knew leaving the funeral home that day that I will be going into that field. From that day forward I made sure to graduate with a 3.5 and apply for a college that has a program and I found UC. I have been working to keep my GPA above average while also making the dean's list twice, keeping my grades above C's and it's only my second year. I've had experience in my field in school doing classes that my degree requires, also traveling within a program at UCBA to network and meet people within my field. I want to experience the hands-on part of my field, reconstructing the face, putting makeup on, etc. From the personality test, I got to figure out my personal characteristics which are my value of clarity and predictability, my professions are influenced by integrity and innovation, and those values fall within my strengths and values. My 5-year plan consists of me graduating from UC, moving to Ohio to start going to the Cincinnati College of Mortuary School, then after graduating from there, I will be starting an internship. there are only two things left after graduating which are passing the board exam and then finally working in a funeral home. My professional goals are to improve on public speaking, build my network, and work on time management. that list of goals works together to help better my communication and spread knowledge with future morticians. I will be contributing to my community every day that I would walk into my workplace because everyone is going to make it there in life and I'm just glad to be one of the people to help during the time of bereavement.
