type of person to

I’m the type of person who is constantly thinking. I want to know how everything works and am thinking non-stop. I like to dream big because I refuse to settle for small. One day, you’ll see that I am one of the most creative people alive.
My upbringing is where I received all my values. My parents always treated me like an adult, so I’ve always been close to them.
New York City is the greatest city in the world. It has helped mold me into the responsible young adult that I’ve become.
School has always been an important part of my life. I remember my mom telling me to use my head, not my fists.
I am Noah Howard and this is my story!
While I was growing up, playing video games was always a way for me to relieve stress.
As I got older, sports became my main passion. I used to turn to video games to relieve my stress, I now turn to sports.
I was a dreamer… I was never sure of what profession to pursue.
My mom told me that at first I wanted to be a doctor. I don’t remember that because for as long as I can remember, I don’t like blood. I do remember wanting to be a lawyer and a baseball player. Being a professional baseball player might not have been feasible, but a guy can dream.
One day, while sitting on a friend’s couch, I saw my future right in front of me.
A Pepsi commercial that I had never seen before was airing. The commercial made me want a Pepsi. I couldn’t remember the last time a commercial made me want to buy a product right away. I don’t even like to drink SODA!
The commercial replayed in my head for a few days. I wanted to understand why the commercial had such an impact on me.
I understood the concept of marketing but I didn’t understand the effort that went into it. How does marketing actually work?
For whom do we design advertisements? Was that Pepsi commercial designed for a certain demographic or was it directed to “soda drinkers”?
I started to look for marketing programs that would help me reach my new goal. Since Full Sail University is a highly regarded institution, I decided to apply as soon as possible.
I might not have had any experience in Marketing before this program, but I do bring a lot of skills to the table.
Besides being fully computer literate, I can figure out how to use any piece of technology.
Growing up in a technological world gives me an advantage over earlier generations. I’ve been using technology since I was two years old and have never used any device that I couldn’t figure out.
Understanding technology is a great thing, but being a motivator is even better. I believe that a mind is a terrible thing to waste, so I always encourage others to try to do their very best.
When in a working environment, I know how important it is to listen to and to internalize information.
There is a significant difference between “listening” and “hearing”. It is imperative to listen and to retain information.
I understand when to keep quiet and listen. I also know when to share my ideas.
When it comes to applying for a job, I am looking at both large firms…
and small firms.
Unlike many people, I have the gift of thinking outside of the box. I don’t think of situations in a vacuum. I try to keep an open mind and consider as many perspectives as possible.
I am unique and I think in a unique way.
To wrap up who I am as an individual…
I leave you with this question… Whom do you want working for you?
Now you know Noah Howard. (I plan to add to this persona as time goes on.)
