Eastern Communication Association

I just went to my first ever Communication Conference. It took place in Boston, Ma and was hosted at the Sonesta Hotel. The reason that I was in attendance was because I was presenting a paper there(this was also a first). It went great. I had such a wonderful time and it inspired me to go again next year!

One of the major influences for me to do this was Gina Bell. She has encouraged me to persuade presenting my papers at conferences, getting my research published and going for a PhD. Although she can only check off one of those things, she has put confidence in me that I can do it. She came to hear me present my paper and was proud. Her feedback was positive. She said, if you teach like that I bet your classroom is awesome. That makes me feel like a rockstar.

Anyways, I had a great time and I hope to continue my research in the future and present it to other scholars! I'm pretty sure I have the research 'bug' now and will most likely do a PhD in my future. I just have to find the right school that fits for me. All I know is that I love to teach and I like to research, so we will see!
