Week 2 Exploration: Storyboard

1. WEEK 2 EXPLORATION:
STORYBOARD
Andrea Mervis

2. Before I started the MCBS
Program I was managing a Great
Clips in Columbus, Ohio and
wondering what was next.

3. My goal with my shop was to win a Main Sail and Brand Excellence reward;
I managed to do that within the same year.

4. After that, I considered a position as a Business
Service Specialist, but they choose someone
with a degree that would help with the position.

5. I had always thought I wanted to move up
into corporate, but for a decent job you need
a degree.

6. But then my husband started at Full Sail University
in Game Design, and that gave me a first hand look
at what the courses were set up like.

7. I watched to see how many assignments he
done in a week, and when they were due.

8. Because of that I actually realized that Full Sail’s online
option was something that could fit into my schedule.

9. I did not have much spare time with managing a busy store and also being a wife and mother.

10. Also to add to that my son has behavior
problems that also adds a lot of doctor
appointments to my schedule as well.

11. So seeing first hand how much time I would
have to dedicate made my decision to go
back to school easier.

12. Because of that I started looking around at what
courses were offered online that peaked my
interest, because I really did not know what I was
looking for or what I really wanted to do.

13. Originally I found the Public Relations Master’s
Degree, but I needed a different degree to start with.

14. Because of that it made for a lot of
researching until I found the right course.

15. Until finally I
found the MCBS
program, and it
interested me
because not only
will it lead to a
new career option
after school but I
can also use it at
my current job
now.

16. Another benefit was that it
offers more than just public
relations, so I have options.

17. And ever since I decided to pursue
my passion for media and I am
enjoying the journey along the way.
