Hi everyone! I’m Jessica Greenhut…
I am very interested in how the world is changing through science everyday; but I am not a scientist. I have always been fascinated by what a researcher is capable of and wish I had that sort of talent; however, my talents are strong suited within the creative field.
I have always been interested in developing new product ideas and how to expand upon, and market them. During my last two years of high school, I participated in a “Shark Tank” competition in which students pitched different inventions to a panel of judges. In my junior year, I had come up with the concept of a breathalyzer (called “Boozinga”) that connects to the user’s smart phone and not only measures his or her blood alcohol level, but uses an application to notify a select group of friends that the user needs help. Our team came in 1st place, the product is patent-pending, and we are now working to bring Boozinga to market.
Although I may not be suited for the field of science, I have other strong attributes in the field of communications. As an advertising major and potentially a business minor, I am able to receive an education within a field full of creative talent, which will allow me to strive for success. As an aspiring entrepreneur, I recognize how quickly our world is changing. But a progressive mass communications education, combined with an entrepreneurial education, will allow me to stay one step ahead.
Science is a field of new and innovative ideas, but it is not my passion and therefore that is why I am not a science major. This course will allow me to fulfill my general science requirement and let me move forward with my passions in life.
To sum this all up, I am not a science major because creating and developing new ideas has always been my calling.
Hey Jessica. I think it is incredible you have so many good ideas to market, that really is impressive!
