Gaining a Direction

So. even though I've been through four years of college at the University of Michigan, including all the pre-medical requirments, I still was not completely sure what I wanted to do with my life when I saw the facebook ad for Michigan Apprentice. Many people might question what my drive was to go through about two years worth of introductory science 'weeder' classes including organic chemistry, advertised as the most dreadful experience of a pre-med's life. Like many other University of Michigan freshmen, I knew that whatever it was that I did with my life, it had to top my experience at the University of Michigan. I was going to use my education and experiences as this big 10, 'harvard of the midwest' school as a stepping stone to bigger and better things. With that in mind. I knew that if I became a doctor I would definitely have the opportunity to do great things with my life. I had no interest in becoming a lawyer or a businessperson. Who wants to fight for their money? I prefered to care for people instead. By just being accepted to the University of Michigan it has to be apparent that I am a competitive person. I'm just not competitive at the expense of other people. I always thought science was interesting and so I thought I would do the pre-med requirments until I knew that I wanted to do something else for sure. As I fought through the relatively intense pre-medical program at the Univesity of Michigan I took classes which I enjoyed but knew that I would never enter the fields associated with them. It was not until I took some film classes that I thought I might enter this field if I never had the chance to become a doctor. And so, when I saw the Michigan Apprentice shadowing opportunity for Kimberly Craig at WXYZ Channel 7, I thought that I should take the chance...for fun...just to see if I might enjoy the field of a reporter who consistently uses visual media to educate the world about itself.
