Blog 1: All About Me

Let's get the basics out of the way: My name is Sadia Mohammadi. I'm a senior approaching graduation in four months!!!! Can you feel my excitement? I am 24 years old. Don't ask me why I'm still in school, because I'm already on my way out, and it's too late to answer that now. My major is Broadcast Journalism, and it took me awhile to finally commit to it. It is a competitive field but that should never stop anyone from pursuing their dreams. There is a side of me that loves to write, think, and artistically create videos. There is also another side that loves to sleep in until noon and lay on the beach for the rest of the day. Of course, with full-time school and work, I haven't lived like that in quite some time.

My goals after graduation are simple: Find a job I love. Work for free. Prove myself to them. And travel the world to gain some insight on the different cultures, people, and beauty around me. When it comes to my dream job, it would definitely be CNN-related. Some people say I'm really shooting for the stars. I just call it a goal. In fact, I wish more people were passionate about what they wanted to do. Then, maybe we would have happier people roaming this Earth, and less cynical ones stomping on their own dreams.

I think of myself as a free spirit, open to new ideas and free from judgement. I believe in my religion of Islam and feel a deep spiritual connection to God. Even though I may not look like the stereotypical Muslim woman or follow all the rules, I'm pretty dedicated to my faith. I'm not perfect, but who here is?

I manage a spa, and out of all the jobs I've had, this one has been the most rewarding. I've matured into a professional, and have been pampered along the way. I definitely don't mind the free massages.

I'm ready to learn, ready to start my career, and ready to see the world.

Let me end on this note. As far as my writing style, it's a chameleon. Thanks to the amazingly talented teachers I've had in the Journalism program, I have learned to write for newspapers, television, magazines, and more. My personal favorite however, is my own style. Writing has always been my passion because the art of expressing yourself with the simplicity of a pen and paper is truly a gift. The only time I hate it is when I feel like my artistic freedom is being restricted. In other words, I HATE research papers. But what can I say? That's college for you.
