Language and Literature
How do you
feel about graduating? I
will certainly miss all of my friends and many of the wonderful
teachers I had at Barnard, including Agueda Rayo, my Spanish
thesis advisor, and Anne Prescott in the English department.
I will also miss being a student. I am excited, however,
to begin a new chapter in my life.
Future Plans: I just got a job working as a general assignment
reporter for the Jersey Journal in Hudson County, NJ, where
I will be covering Secaucus and Hoboken. I am looking forward
to developing my skills as a journalist and a writer. In
the distant future I hope to attain a Masters in print journalism
(newspaper) and potentially a Masters in international affairs
with a concentration in Latin America.

How do you
feel about graduating?: “While
graduation is a sad moment because the friends you made wonderful
memories with all go their separate ways, graduation signifies
a new beginning. I look forward to the new memories my college
friends and I will make as we sail through the difficult
waters of adulthood and hope to enjoy my time off from lectures,
papers, and tests.”
Future Plans: I look forward to working at a fulltime job at the
Grace Institute for a few years before I enroll in law school.

at a Manhattan law firm and I anticipate attending law school
in the near future.
