Television and The Great Things it Teaches Us.

            Television. It’s one of those ties that binds so to say. It can unite families after a long day at work and school, it can be your night in with the girls, or it can make you cry your eyes out because that’s what girls do after a breakup. Imagine this, you come home from a long day and all you want to do is relax. But there are dishes to do, dinner to make and other things that are more important than relaxing. That’s where television comes in, because I can almost guarantee that 95% of our population would rather eat dinner in front of their television with their family, for the sake of having a little bit of together-ness time.

            For me and my mom, television has become a joke because she can hardly ever stay awake to find out what we’re watching. But it’s okay because the time we do spend watching television has helped me decide that I want to be in the Communications field as an occupation. In the fall, I will be attending Kent State University in the school of Communication Studies and there are so many jobs that I could obtain with that degree.

            Now, you may be asking yourself, “How does television help you decide that one?” Well, I watch a lot of Criminal Minds, if you've never seen it, I highly recommend it. Anyway, there is a character named Jennifer “JJ” Jerow, and she is basically the Publicist for the Behavioral Analysis Unit of the FBI. I’m not saying that is exactly what I want to do, that’s just one example. I could also be a news anchor, just to name a few.

            I have always been excited by being in the public eye, that may sound strange but it has always been a strong suit of mine to speak in public. Television can be good and it can also be bad, but in my case, I believe there is nothing but good coming out of all of my hours of watching it. Maybe one day, all of my hopes and dreams will pay off and instead of seeing my on a television show being a publicist, you’ll see me on television as an actual publicist or doing something else in the communications field.

            If you ask anyone that I know, they’ll tell you that this field is the perfect one for me because sometimes I don’t know when to shut my mouth. Television has always been something that has brought my friends and family together but it has also helped me discover my life’s calling. I know one day it will all work out the way I want it to and maybe one day, I can be as great as JJ.
