When you think of spirituality what does that mean to you?
In simple terms “spirit” means a feeling within your mind, body, and heart whether it be religious or not. Spirituality can then be interpreted as a connection deep inside one self. You can feel connection with your spirit in various ways such as gathering with others, reading text, singing, physical movement, and or eating food. The way in which one chooses to make their spiritual connection is…

Mental Wellness
I have had a rough 6-9 months of life. Work, school, and personal issues. My mental, emotional, and physical health were in crisis. I thought I could do it all and I didn’t lean in my support system due to my own insecurities and embarrassment. Then a month ago I got Covid 19 and I haven’t been the same since.
I struggled with battling my anxiety diagnosis which has now manifested into deep depression. Watching Senator John Fetterman and his acknowledgment of his illness and seeking treatment encouraged me. I then listened to people who said he should lose his job because he was sick. This dissuaded me to be open about what I was dealing with personally because of fear of judgement.
The stigma of dealing with mental and emotional health is common. I want to be more open and honest about my own journey. Seeking help to deal with mental health is a sign of strength.
I am a single mother of a 7th grader who is in the throes of teen hood. My son turned 13 in March. He doesn’t have a close relationship with his father or any other males in his life. Our entire life is primarily centered around each other and he nor I have a “social” life. This has taken a toll on my son and myself.
I work in the school district in my county and we have an employee assistance program that literally saved me. I work as a teacher at a high school. I am new to this school and I was afraid to get close to any coworkers. Emotionally and mentally this work experience was challenging beyond what I was prepared for.
I’m also in school attempting to complete my degree in public relations at Full Sail University. This journey has been exciting and fulfilling to learn about technology and media. Even at work I realize how my degree and technology will help me become a better educator. The program has been extremely difficult. FSU is intense and it requires commitment.
I thought I could get it all done. My spirit was drained. I was not taking care of myself the way I deserved. My candle was burnt out.
One early morning several weeks ago I decided I couldn’t live like this anymore and I made the call. A crisis counselor spoke with me for over an hour. I was given resources and information to seek assistance immediately at a crisis center. A week later I walked into a treatment facility for 5 days. I was blessed enough to take another week off of work. Yesterday was my first day back. It was emotionally exhausting. I worked a full day. I made it through. After each hour passed I felt more comfortable. One day at a time.
Addressing mental wellness is now my top priority for myself and I am grateful I am alive today. I acknowledge that I need support and I am grateful I am in a position to share my story. Self care is not selfish and loving yourself is deserved.

Full Sail University Final Mastery Journal
My personal Mastery Journey over the last 12 months began with my desire to complete this public relations masters degree program by staying diligently on top of each week's assignments and obtaining at least a B or an 80 percent in each course. The initial objectives that I set for myself included a personal, academic, and career goal. The career goal included an e-commerce business with t-shirts, totes, sportswear, and swimwear. I have successfully started my business Design Solutions and Management LLC and registered it with the state of Florida. My Academic goal was completing the program before the end of summer 2023. I did have some situations that occurred due to health related concerns around my anxiety and depression but I made a leap of faith and sought treatment to address the issue. The personal goal that I set for myself was to start writing more consistently and have a finished piece complete by graduation. The current writing piece that I am working on is titled "And Then There Was Me" which is close to completion I am finishing the visuals and marketing strategy.
While at Full Sail University I have gained an immense knowledge base around communications, presentation skills, and innovation technologies. These skills that I have acquired have now prepared me to become a Public Relations professional. I m grateful that I took this step to enhance my personal lifelong academic to complete a masters degree in media. As the world around us changes to more technology based it was important to become more knowledge within this field of study and industry. I am currently a Teacher working with special needs students and I realized that is where my heart is and I will utilize all of these new skills to become a better educator and presenter. My ultimate goal now is to continue my education and work at the college level. I would enjoy specifically assisting students that are first year attending or require additional support to become successful in their academic achievements.
It has been a privilege to be part of the Full Sail community and upon graduation it will be my honor to be an Alumni of Full Sail University.

Mastery Journal OMR course
At the beginning of my academic journey with Full Sail University I established 3 main goals for myself. I believed that one of my goals was to create an e-commerce business, complete a new screenplay, and finish this degree program. Although I have not yet completed a new screenplay, I have finished some writing that was on the shelf, and I am closer to my goal of completing my master's degree in public relations.
During this experience at Full Sail University I have learned so much about what it means to work in Public Relations. I am in my month 11 course which is Online Media Room and I have enjoyed this experience. Being able to be creative and utilize technology is definitely what I want to do as a career. Learning new technologies is an important aspect of working within the marketing and or public relations field.
I believe that if I found a job within the field of Public Relations I would certainly need to know how to compile date, images, and text to create an online media room for any company. As I worked on content marketing I see how that will play into creating impactful content for stakeholders. Understanding how content strategy works within the total business of an organization is essential as a Public Relations professional.
The assignments this month have been beneficial to me both professionally and personally as I craft my own brand story. I have enjoyed using various social media platforms and creation tools such as adobe express, InDesign, shorthand, and WordPress. As I become more proficient in these applications I know that I will be able to bring my skill and personality to any position that I may find after graduation.
I am excited to complete my academic journey as a Full Sail University Master of Arts in Public Relations graduate.

Full Sail University Mastery Journal
When I began the Full Sail Public Relations master’s degree program, I had 3 goals; the first goal was to create an e-commerce business with an online store of my created designs and to feature other artists that wanted to collaborate with me and my business. My second goal was to start writing again and have the tools to market my work properly to the public in a more creative way than I have in the past. My third goal upon starting the master’s degree program in Public Relations was to complete a full screenplay upon graduation.
Currently I have 2 courses until I am complete with the graduation requirements of this program. Although I have started designing more and created an online store, I have not been able to dedicate as much time to that passion as I had planned. I have begun to write much more often and that feels good. Leaning how to use technology as a medium to create content as an artist as been an amazing journey and I now understand the importance of telling digital stories to the public as a result of participating in this program.
The most helpful piece of information that I have learned during this course is to ensure the pubic knows my purpose and that as a public relations professional defining, protecting, and communicating your reputation is essential to every organization and individual. Another important lesson that I learned in taking the Reputation Management course is how to analyze an organization’s reputation online. Being able to identify the key constituents that would be affected by an organization’s reputation in times of crisis is also an important part of public relations. The knowledge that I have acquired during this course will allow me to protect the organization that entrusts me with their message to the public in which I would serve.

My Full Sail University Mastery Journal
Welcome to my Journal on Tumblr
This month at Full Sail University I was enrolled in Media Relations; during the 4 weeks in this course I was challenged to create a media list, press release, crisis response documents, and a media kit. These assignments were hands on projects that I need to use for my portfolio and will showcase my experience in Public Relations. These projects will connect directly with the expectations that an employer or prospective client would need me to complete for them. This month I needed to concentrate on deadlines and research strategies which is an essential aspect of the course and job of a public relations professional.
This course has taught me how important it is to understand time management and to continue to learn new technology whether it be new social media platforms or using devices. My original goal or objective for this course was that I would learn how to work with the press and become proficient in communicating with these type of individuals. What I actually learned was how to write and create packages for those in that field. I know that these skills will be valuable to me as a PR Professional as I create campaigns in the future. I know the skills that I have gained during this course will be utilized after graduation .
When I began my education journey to obtain a Masters degree I did not realize how much time and energy I would need to spend on my endeavor. However this class awakened my deep enjoyment to learn new things but that it is imperative to want to learn because it is personal to use that knowledge in the future. I am excited to complete this course so that I am closer to the goal of being a proud Full Sail graduate.
