Hi my name is Adriana Carner and I am a junior studying Communications with a digital media
concentration, also with a minor in Psychology.
After graduation I plan on pursuing a Master of Arts Degree in Communication and going
into the world of journalism.
So I initially pursued a Communications degree because I am passionate about understanding
people, and interacting with them.
My friends and family are my biggest passion in my life, and I would do anything for them,
even in tough situations.
For example, my best friend, David, I love him very dearly, and he's one of the most
important people in my life.
Last year during the summer I went to go visit him one day and we were sitting on the couch,
just hanging out, when all of the sudden his mom started screaming in terror, and saying
"no, no, no" over and over again.
So David ran to her and asked "what happened?" and she basically said that his dad had been
involved in a car accident, and that his condition was unknown right now.
The worst part was that we couldn't even go to the scene because it had taken place on
the highway, so the highway was completely blocked, and so we had to wait at their house
for two really long hours, while we waited for a police officer to come.
When she finally did, she sat the family around the dining table, and I stood there and watched
them, and she told them that he had passed, and that his death was immediate.
When that happened, I remember my heart just dropping to my stomach like a weight.
I remember my hands feeling completely numb, I couldn't hear anything, and David got up
from the table, ran to the front door and started banging on the door, crying, then
opened the door and ran out onto the street and cried even more.
His mom sat at the table, and wouldn't move, and she was basically just completely shocked.
And now that I think back to this day, it was really hard to go through that because
here I am with people that I really love and care for, but they're not my family, so I
wasn't going through that shock with them, and I basically had to just watch them go
through a loss.
So naturally I was the only person that could really function at the time, so I offered
to speak to the officer about what to do next, and, but I was still shocked, and I offered
to stay with them for a while, but I couldn't sleep, and I couldn't eat, and every time
I ate something, it just tasted like sand.
So, that day, I saw another side of my friend that I had never seen before, and I had to
learn how to go through a situation like that where all I could do is to be a spectator
when I needed to be, but also a shoulder to cry on.
He rode an emotional roller coaster for the next three days.
Sometimes he was content, and would talk to me, he would talk to his family, sometimes
he was really angry, and sometimes he wouldn't stop crying, and would just lay in his bed
all day.
The next couple of months were the same, and I had to learn how to be okay with everything
that he was going through, and how to be sensitive to his actions, because sometimes he would
yell at me for no reason, or other people, and he would say things that he didn't mean.
Sometimes he was just sad.
And that taught me that everyone is going through something, and we can't just automatically
not be okay if they're not okay.
On days--I knew that somedays he would seem fine, when he really wasn't, and on days where
he had something really important to do, like the first day of school, or moving into his
dorm, I had to be his rock, because he didn't even want to get out of bed.
So through all of this, I learned how to be a true friend, someone that would stick with
you throughout everything, even if its' so hard, and David tells me that I saved him,
when really I just helped him save himself.
So this has taught me that communication is so vital in our lives, and I really want to
learn how to apply that, not just in my professional life, but in my personal life as well, and
understand how it affects people.
My top three goals in this class are to get a better understanding of how communication
is used in all aspects of life, to apply what I learn in my professional life, and my personal
life, and also to learn how to master an online class because I've only ever taken a hybrid
class at UTSA, and I would really love to learn how to communicate with my fellow peers
through an online setting.
Thank you.
