These are things to help remind me of where I am headed.

"Krystal:

Your Aunt Nancee"

On the last day of last term, I was ready to show Bil Gekas the flyer he had assigned for me to do for the Student Art Contest. He told me what text to change, what fonts he did and didn't like, etc. We hammered the poster out and got all the kinks out within 10 mins, all done in front of his eyes. He told me, "See, if I were looking for a graphic designer, I'd hire you. You work really fast!" He says I'm "full of spice!"



I got a call during 7th Day Itch, my monthly I'm a Resident DJ at, from the Ad Club Advisor, Bruce Campbell. He called to congratulate me on a successful Poker Night. He thanked me for all my hard work and efforts. This phone call was the only thing I wanted after putting in hours and hours of planning into a fundraiser so we can host an elegant Alumni Dinner for our Alums. Being as busy as I am, I look for no reward in doing things I feel I MUST do. Nothing can ever replace a THANK YOU from a superior.


After finalizing the Batang Peninsula billboard for my parents, seeing video of the land's new developments as well as where the billboards were posted, I was able to see the blooming possibilities of where this career will take me.



Since starting college, I have been able to be on TV, radio, and on a billboard. You can find me on a Westwood College commercial airing now. I was on 98.7 after having auditioned for America's Next Top Intern. Along the highways of Himamaylan, Philippines, my sister and I are posted on billboards to help lure more guests into the resort.

I refuse to let anything or anyone get in my way. This is what everything has been leading up to. I am in love with my career and my life.

I have everything I need.
