I hope my future self is proud of our achievements, sacrifices, and determination to become the best version of myself.

My fascination with technology, combined with my creativity as I grew older, led me to pursue a career in digital marketing. I believe that digital marketing provides the power to link people with products or services as well as a unique opportunity to put both my analytical and creative skills to work in reaching an audience in novel ways. What I find most interesting about digital marketing is the ongoing evolution of industries and the dynamic that occurs in nature. The field will always develop at a rapid pace, and there will always be something new to learn and technologies to explore, such as social media, search engine optimization, and digital marketing. These are renowned techniques and strategies that can be developed. These are broad-reaching concepts and approaches for connecting with various demographics across multiple channels. The fluid nature of digital marketing implies a perpetual evolution, which interests me. Always motivated to learn new ideas and keep up with the most recent developments in technology and trends. With digital marketing, I see an opportunity to integrate my love of technology with my creativity and strategic thinking capabilities. My enthusiasm for digital marketing sparked during my junior year as a marketing intern at Baptist Health Systems, where I worked at my local hospital and assisted in promoting all of their hospital systems in the city of San Antonio, Texas. I was floored by how we could use statistical analysis and information to track the efficiency of different campaigns and make amazing modifications to improve their effectiveness. Because of this opportunity, I see myself working for companies like the hospital where I interned to further develop their use of digital marketing. Digital marketing, in my humble view, is the most potent tool for promoting social media and serving your local community. I want to be an integral component of an organization where I can make a difference in the lives of others around me. I'd want to work on projects that raise awareness about significant topics and motivate my community to be an essential component of a larger change. As digital marketing expands and becomes more engaging, I would like to be a part of an industry that promotes sustainability and ethical practices while also valuing diversity and inclusion. I believe that businesses with these principles, beliefs, and inclusivity will have the greatest diversity of opinions that are going to make a positive difference for people in your town or throughout the world. Ultimately, I picked a career in digital marketing because of its dynamic and ever-changing nature, which allows both thinking and creativity to link audiences all over the world to deliver an important message via technology. My dream future position would be to work for an organization that generates ethical and constructive changes in my neighborhood and has an influence on the world. I am delighted to continue my academic and professional journey in this subject, which allows me to contribute to the continuous development of digital marketing and its inventive effect that reaches people all over the world.

After a year of my younger brother telling me to watch his favorite anime film, A Silent Voice, I decided to give it a chance. However, let me give you some background story really quick. In one week during the pandemic lockdown, I lost my job, internships, and research projects. I was devastated. My life took a one-eighty turn. One thing that happened was that I had so much time on my hands. Nothing to do and too relaxed for my liking. I never experienced this type of calmness ever. Before COVID; If I was not at my morning internship, I was at school if I wasn't at school, I was at work if I was not at work, I was, studying in my free time. My mind was always busy. After COVID, I finally let my mind for once be free. This led to a result in realizing how much pressure I put on myself. I realized I never took care of my mental health, nor did I ever got the chance to enjoy life and the people around me, and not let myself breathe. I told my little brother about my experience and felt like I missed so much of my late teens and college days working and studying and didn't let myself enjoy experience the world. This is when my little brother recommended, I watch the anime film A Silent Voice. The main character Shoya, an outcast who was a former bully, who doesn't appreciate life, friends, family, and memories. Saves Shouko from suicide a deaf girl who has no friends and was formally bullied by Shoya when they were children. This specific scene was when Shouko jumps off her apartment balcony, however; Shoya catches her in time. When Shoya is trying to pull her up and save her, he promises himself this, "Starting tomorrow, I'll look at everyone in the eye. Starting tomorrow, I'll listen when people speak to me. Starting tomorrow... I'll do better." Shoya eventually pulls Shouko up; however, he is the one who falls off the apartment balcony. Throughout the whole film, I was asking myself, " why can Shoya appreciate and acknowledge the moments and the people around him... he is important to everyone... why can't he see that? The quote "Starting tomorrow, I'll look at everyone in the eye. Starting tomorrow, I'll listen when people speak to me. Starting tomorrow... I'll do better." I had an epiphany. I didn't realize I related to Shouko. The reason why this quote is so special to me is because it lets me remind myself to stop for a moment and to appreciate the things and the people around me. Yes! My career is important to me; however, when I am one day on my last day on earth. My career is the last thing I would think about; on my last day on earth, I want to remember all the good, wonderful and loving people I got to spend time and experience.
