blog cuatro.


My future isn't exactly planned out yet, I am just now figuring out what I'm good at and what I might like to do with my life. I'm planning on majoring in Public Relations, and I'm really excited about it, because I think it's what I'm good at, and I can stay interested in it forever. But recently after taking this class, I really am considering minoring in womens studies, because this has been my favorite class this semester. Alot of the classes offered in the women's studies programs sounds amazing, and something I'd be interested in learning about. So if I decide to minor in women's studies, it's good to know all theses incredible classes are offered. I've been thinking alot lately about what kinda of career within my major would, and something I think I'd really enjoy is being a major events coordinator, or planner. Like Ford Center type events. I use to be Student Council President in high school, its something I absolutely loved doing. I loved planning assemblies and fundraisers. In high school , being in charge of alot of things as a girl didn't really bother anyone, but maybe as I get older, and if pursue the career as an events coordinator, I could see how being a woman might be intimidating for some men out there. But I think that career is well rounded when is comes to gender, so I'm not really worried about it too severely. I also worked in a Fabric Store for over a year near Quail Springs Mall, but being a girl really didnt have any effect on that job considering I only worked with other females. But I did work at sonic for a year through high school, and the whole "car hop" role was kind of based on gender. We were told to look presentable and nice to serve people food, and there are rarely any male car hops out there today. The boys were cooks, and the girls serve, which kind of says something on gender roles of women/men. But I know that there are still some areas in our society where women are still expected of typical women roles, but for the most part, I think that our society has progressed to mostly equality in the work place.
