To Treat it as Gold and Goals


For Christmas, my Mum gave me the Michael Kors Selma bag in black and white along with the Michael Kors Monogram cross body bag! I was so ecstatic because I have been longing for these two bags to join my closet. I love Michael Kors so much because he is such as amazing designer. He has such a strong influence when it comes to the fashion industry. I kind of wish he was my uncle, haha! But since I want to become a journalist/reporter, I know I would like to work with him one day on writing an article for one of his collections in the future. 

Since I want to become a journalist/reporter, I am going to make a chart of short, mid-term and long term goals in my Microsoft Word. This way, I know what I need to accomplish and how to accomplish it. Right now, my past short term goal was to establish this blog, my mid term goal is to consistently blog, and then my long term goal is to expand the readership of my blog. These three goals were about the first step of getting into the flow of being a journalist because I am journaling each day about my life and any exciting events or news that I come across. 

To look like a professional journalist/reporter, I need to look the part. My mom recently attended an event sponsored by the spouses of the multi-national military forces stationed here in Virginia. Many of the wives are from Europe, countries such as France, Italy, and Germany and these women dressed so elegantly. So I have decided to make three goals for this step. My short term goal is to save my money in order for me to purchase classic pieces for my wardrobe, the mid-term goal is to look for pieces that flatter my body shape which is an hour glass figure, and then my long term goal is to purchase the pieces for my wardrobe. 
This is an example of a professional journalist/reporter's outfit.

Now for during college, I already know what steps I must do in order for me to become a successful journalist/reporter. For the short term goal I must take all the classes I need in order to learn more about the field, perhaps do research on the journalism major such as pay grades, percentage of demand, and such. I have done this already and the demand and pay grade changes depending on location. For my mid-term goal, I must consistently talk to my advisor or counselor at the university for any information on internships during each fall, winter, spring, and summer break and become involved in school publications in order for me to gain more experience in the field. Then lastly, for my long term goal I must have an excellent resume in order for me to gain the job I want to work after I finish at university. 

So these are my goals and with the help of others around, I will accomplish them.
