Week 1 : Media Autobiography

Week 1 : Media Autobiography

Without a shadow of doubt, everyone is growing up with at least two media and among these, these media indirectly portray one’s personality and hobbies and so on so forth.

Among the eight types of mass media we are studying in this class, I like movies, television and books the most. These three media can be said affected my life so far.

I like watching movies because mostly the plot of the movies is always tend to be perfect and the scene that people wish to be happened in reality. One of the most influence and deep into my mind is called ‘’ Amageddon’’ which is originated a science movies. Yet, figuratively , it ‘s bring a message about the unconditional love from our parents. A father going to sacrifice himself to save the world and at that moment his daughter treasure him and cried like hell. I cried and this scene had touched my heart since I coming from a single family and I hate my father a lot. After viewing this movie, it made me realized that having an attitude ‘’let it be’’ is always good for us and you will live better spiritually. This media form really keep me company all the time and affect me a lot . What I can say is if you watch movies with a sense of learning and explore to the figurative meaning, it will gradually build up your value of life and affect you to a largest extent.

Since I am a only child and grow up in an environment that hardly meet new friends, these factors force me to change from an inactive people into a very outgoing people. Therefore, whenever I met people, I will definitely take the initiative to talk with them. The more older I am, I more I understand how important having a good social network in one’s life. Therefore, I chose communication as my major which is a major I think can help me a lot in my rest of my life. I always believe that one’s success is not just by their own. Of course with talent and work hard is also a key to success. Yet, without a good social skills, communication skills , interpersonal skills , you can hardly survive in this competitive world. Therefore, I plan to involved in this field after I graduate and become my career. I am not sure what I am going to be after graduation, but one thing for sure
is that I will definitely involved in communication field as my career.

The dream school I want to get into is UCLA, so far I think is the best school for communication major. After getting in communication major in ucla, you can have a choice to get into a stream called interpersonal communication major. But for UC Berkeley, its only got media studies. I am sure I can earn a lot from UCLA. The environment around the school is just fabulous . The environment place is just so important to students. Among these two schools, I hope I can get into UCLA and focus on interpersonal aspect which is much more useful in my future career.
