 For the week three assignment, my

17. Involvement Plans
 My plans are simple and begin with
graduation. I plan on getting my foot in
the door with an internship. If that is not
accepted, then I will begin my career at
the bottom rung. This includes working
the vending machines or cleaning the
bathrooms. From this, I plan on
submitting whatever I have together to
move myself up into the broadcasting
filed.

18. Full Sail University
 Graduating from this college with my
bachelors, I already included myself in
the community by joining the federal
work study and working maintenance
with them. Other than that, there are
several ways including online veteran
communities as well as writing and
journalism communities.

19. Mastery Timeline
 Though it is unorthodox, I find this entire
presentation being my time line. I know
it doesn't’t seem to follow the rest of the
projects, but it is technically a visual
imagery and I believe that it explains, in
detail, where I plan to start and where I
plan to put my foot in the door when my
graduation comes to fruition.
