Week 2 Exploration: StoryboardBY: PENNY QUALKENBUSH
Before I started the MCBS Program I was working at a full-time job that I did not like.
I worked at a casino with a bunch of people screaming at me because they lost all their money.
No matter how good I was at my
job I was still treated as a
number.Number 1824
I had always thought I wanted to work in the medical profession.
I took multiple courses trying to pursue this career.
I even became a certified Massage Therapist.
But then I realized studying the medical profession was very boring.
I never wanted to go to class.
Because of that I asked myself, “Why am I doing this?”
My real interest has always been in Journalism and Broadcasting.
Throughout high school this is why I took so many college prep classes for Journalism.
Because of that I found Full Sail right away.
I didn’t even need to look any further, because they offered me everything I was looking for.
With one hundred percent from my
husband, I quit my job at the casino and went back to
school.
Because of that I am enjoying my classes and looking forward to a career in the media industry.
I am so excited every time I start a new class.
Until finally I graduate and start digging further into the career path that I can finally
choose. I love knowing there are a lot of possibilities with my degree
choice.
And ever since I decided to pursue my passion for media, my days seem a little brighter and feel I have a positive goal
to achieve.

I also love knowing that my son is
watching me and I am setting a wonderful example for him.
