Dear Reader,
My WISE project is an experience I have been anxiously awaiting. As I have continued through this first semester, I have spent a lot of time thinking about what my project would be. I came to the conclusion that I want to become involved in local politics. I discovered my interest in politics after I was matched with a Political career after an extensive survey I took during my junior year for a Career and College Prep class. I have researched several careers in this field and have been extremely intrigued by more than a few of them, particularly a Political Press Secretary. I am embracing this opportunity to explore my possible career path, and a passion of mine.
In this journey I hope to become involved in a local issue on an intimate level. Currently, I plan on advocating for the advancement of the Waterfront Trails around Cayuga Lake. I want to interview several people who are involved in the trails, including but not limited too: Rick Manning, Carolyn Peterson, and the owner of Puddle Dockers. I want to be very knowledgeable on the subject and take measures to advocate for my position within the community.
I made a self realization with this project that I will be going out of my comfort level several times. However, I know all these things I will do in this project (such as interviewing people, conducting survey's, keeping specific deadlines and appointments) are things that would be expected of me on a daily basis if I do pursue a career in politics. I think this is a time better than any to go out my comfort zone, explore, and work on goals I have for myself. I am looking forward to the next 16 weeks, the trials and tribulations. Enjoy!
-Audra
