On July 22 I meet with Professor Rafalko during her office hours, we discussed her career path. Professor Rafalko shared her college experience, she attended Kings college with a degree in English than she got her graduate degree at Ohio State. During that time she worked many different jobs, one being working at the Campbell soup company. Professor Rafalko shared her interests with me, she loves writing and teaching. She is now getting her masters at Penn State, while she is teaching an English 15 course. I am glad I had the opportunity to meet her because she a super nice person.

During the meeting I discussed my academic goals and career choice with her. I told her how I want to major in public relations and how i plan on achieving that goal. I discussed my experience I had at my first real public relations volunteer job. I am happy i got to discuss my goals with her, she gave me great advice and  told me I was on the right path.

I think office hours are an important resources for students because I had the opportunity to meet my professor on a personal level, which definitely helps a lot in class. I also got to discuss my own upcoming assignment, that was super helpful. I definitely see myself using office hours in the future when I need help with an assignment or if I need to discuss how I can improve my grade if I do poorly on an exam. My talk with my professor 1 on 1 was very helpful and I definitely recommend using office hours because they will truly benefit your college experience and they will allow you to effectively know your professor. I am glad I had the opportunity to talk to Professor Rafalko!
