Hello internet
goers,
I am Katie
Figoni. I am in my 4th year at Oregon State University. I am
majoring in Human Development and Family Sciences with a minor in
communication. My overall career goal is to become a high school counselor.
Well that’s the idea for now. Others have told me that I should look into other
kinds of counseling such as family and marital counseling or even look into
having a career as a sports psychologist. I guess you can say I am still trying
to find out what I want in my career.
Athletics are
also something that I am very interested it. In high school I was a three sport
athlete. I played soccer, basketball, track and field. About two months ago I
was provided an opportunity to become the head coach of a high school JV2
soccer team. It has been an amazing experience so far and I’m so blessed to
have this opportunity to share my love of the game with today’s youth.
Let’s get back
to the reason why I am writing this blog; Communication theory. I am studying
communication because communication is everywhere in the world around us.
Communication is the key to so many things. Communication isn’t just what we
say to other people, but also our body language, the tone of voice we use and
so many other things. There are many ways communication will benefit me in the
future. The main reason why I am studying communication is because the skills
and information will help with my career. I will always be communicating with
teachers, students, parents, and other officials with my jobs as a counselor
and a coach. Learning different styles of communication will help me in almost any
situation.
I hope from this
initial post you all learned a little bit about me and my reasoning for
studying communication. Until next time!
