Once I found the motivation to pursue a Sociology major, I took actions to change my academic performance and grow as a person for professional reasons. For instance, I stayed committed in completing semester requirement that were assigned to me from a program and strove for student success as a STEP Scholar. I took the initiative to get out of my comfort zone and work at a restaurant to learn and gain more knowledge on how to interact with a range of different individuals from a diverse community. As a Sociology major, I am dedicating my time to develop proficient communication skills for a very diverse background; for instance, culturally, languages, perspectives, and knowledge because I want to make a change in the Labor Movement.

This opportunity can provide me with a great deal of insight of the field of sociology including my future career goals and values, which
