Introduction and Welcome

My name is Justin Motta and I'd like to welcome you to my blog. I have been at SJSU for two and a half years now and am graduating in December with a degree in Communication Studies. In my free time I enjoy mountain biking and playing the drums. Now that I've told you all a little bit about myself I'd like to share my communication story.
I started my education at West Valley College not really sure what I wanted to do for a degree. When I had to take my first public speaking course I wasn't too thrilled, but I had an excellent proffesor who made the experience quite pleasant. After taking his public speaking course I decided to take an interpersonal class with him. Communication was a challenge for me because I've always been an introverted person. When I decided to major in COMM as a result of taking these classes I knew I was creating a big challenge for myself, which ties into my goals and what I hope to get out of this class.
Every course I have taken in COMM has really taken a different angle on ways to look at Communication. As I have been taught to look at issues through different "lenses" as most COMM professors would say. So my goal is to do well in this class, but my hope is to be able to look at COMM through a different lens to be able to broaden my knowledge in the wide world of Communication.
