5 personal goals set for myself:

2.     Get an internship over the summer in New York

3.     Make as many friends as possible

4.     Take advantage of as many opportunities and new experiences as possible

5.     One day be your own boss and own your own firm

Part 2: Reflection

1.     I chose this professional path because I am a very practical yet creative person and I feel like I can do really well in this field with those characteristics. Interior design allows you to show your intelligence and your creativity at the same time.

2.     An artist is someone who practices anything creative and is a master at what they produce. I am a learning artist. I practice creativity but I am not a master of what I practice.

3.     I want my work to express and celebrate uniqueness and highlight the beauty in things that are different from everyday design.

4.     I seek solutions to problems in design.

5.     I will be able to learn how to design practically but also let my creativity show.
