Theres a first time for everything

                                        

Hi Everyone!

   My name is Natalia Maccarrone. This is the first time I have ever written a blog and I am pretty excited about it! Technically this is for a class of mine at school, but I will try to make it as interesting as possible for those of you readers that do not want to hear about school stuff!
    I am taking this marketing class and it is actually pretty awesome! We are allowed to be extremely creative and hands on with the class. It requires a lot of presenting which I am extremely nervous about because I hate talking in front of the class! There is a lot of work that this class requires, and I need to make sure I keep up with it!
   My personal goals in the class are to find a more creative side to myself and explore things in different ways. I enjoy that we are able to pick out our Television Ads to present to the class because you get a taste of what every bodies interests are! Another goal of mine is to get better at presenting in front of my peers, which I have to do a whole lot in this class, so I am hoping to get more comfortable with that.
   This summer I had an internship at Merrill Lynch, which I absolutely hated! The one part I enjoyed was working with the woman in charge of marketing for the financial advisors group I was interning for. 

That is what made me excited about taking this class this semester. Another good thing about it was I realized what I definitely do not want to do with my future and that is focus in on finance and being in a department where I work with people who are financial advisors.
   My academic goals for this semester and this class are going to be pretty hard to stay on top of! I am currently in three business classes and an English class, all of which require so much work! Along with being on the Volleyball team here and traveling so much this semester. 

I really need to stay on top of things! I have a goal of keeping up with a 3.2 GPA or over. I think I can reach this goal if I strive for it! One last goal, outside of this class but for this year, is to find out what I want to focus on specifically in the business world since right now I am unsure of it.
   On Wednesday I have my Ad presentation, which I am so nervous for! I am going to try my hardest to completely kill it while I am in front of the class! I will be sure to let you all know how I do when it is over!
  Well, that is all I have for now, I hope I didn't bore any of you too much!

Enjoy the week and stay happy my friends! :)

Thanks for listening,

Natalia!
