introduction to myself!

Hello class!

My real name is Melissa Liwanag, but I would rather be preferred as "Nags". I am currently a Sophomore and my major is Hospitality. I am 19 years old and I am turning 20 years old in March. I am from Pacifica, and for all of you who do not know where that is located it is about 45 minutes to an hour away from San Jose, and about 20 minutes away from San Francisco so it isn't too far away from here. I am currently living on campus at CVB, and I find it very convenient for me because I don't have to drive or park anywhere to get to classes and it is very easy to get to classes from there. I work at Andersen Bakery over at Valley Fair Mall, as a part time employee. My schedule for this semester is pretty flexible because I only have classes on Mondays and Wednesdays, while on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, I am working.

My communication experience comes from most of the other jobs I have had within the past few years such as, Nordstrom as a sales associate, and volunteering with two different elementary schools and talking to parents of the students and the faculty. I have also participated in the Academy of Art summer program for two summers. I took different types of fashion classes, but the main class I took that I have communication experience in is my Acting class. I learned a lot in that class and for the final we had to perform in front of all the acting majors at Academy of Art. So that has been one of my main communication experiences. My other communication experience comes from the Comm 20 class that I took in my first semester at San Jose State. I enjoyed it a lot and was able to maintain a B+ in the class. As for online classes, I have no experience with it because I have never taken an online class in my college career. I hope to gain more and better communication skills while taking this class.
