Kiana and "A Day in Her Shoes" With The Garner Circle PR

A Day in the Life w. Garner Circle PR

Written by Kiana

 

 

Over the past months I’ve been looking for a mentorship program to inspire me to perservere to meet all my goals and better my future. What are my goals?
My short term goals are:

1. Have a talent agent by the time I graduate
2. to appear as a an extra or more on television or film by the time I am 18
3. work in the entertainment industry- Public Relations, manage, produce, songwrite
4. become a household name and well respected actor & singer
5. become one of the top 10 teen performers in Atlanta

It seems like now-a-days I live in a generation where everyone goes about their business & feels it’s necessary to go out and get “yours” because no one else will do it for you. I totally agree. Achieving by yourself gives success much more worth in the long run. But sometimes you need a strong base of people that will expect & encourage the best in you. I found a place that will give me that “push”. The She in Me Program™, founded by Miss Bessie A. Winn- Afeku was introduced to me by Miss Leslie Young A mentor and contact of mine, Miss Leslie & Miss Bessie introduced me to an opportunity to shadow Nicole Garner, CEO of The Garner Circle PR. The opportunity was extended to me and I was put to work! The art of networking is amazing I tell you!

Finding the Right College for You

Finding the right College to attend is a very important decision, and a very hard one. Here are just a few things to consider:

1. Take time to identify who you are before you start to pick individual colleges

2. What make to school you want to go to unique?

3. If you have a disability, will this college/university cater to your needs?

4. What is the average student teacher ratio?

Really MTV?

First is was "16 And Pregnant". Now "Skins" ? So where do you draw line when it comes to promoting promiscuity in young people? Or maybe you don't.
