Hey Everyone,
So as my first blog entry I am just going to introduce myself and tell you a little about me.

| My Puppy Soca |
My name is Chantel Young, I am twenty years old. I was raised in a Caribbean Island, called Trinidad & Tobago. Although I was born in California, Trinidad to me is home. People say "Home is where the heart is" and for me its there. I am fortunate enough to have both my parents and a younger brother. I have a very strong family that, I can proudly say are there with me every step of the way as I am for them. I currently live in Kenosha, Wisconsin with my four family member and my beautiful puppy named Soca. My puppy is a full bread black cocker spaniel; her name represents carnival music, which is a type of music we listen to in the Caribbean.
Currently, I am attending Whitewater University and majoring in Public Relations with a minor in Advertising. I am a junior however, this is my first year in Whitewater as a transfer student from Concordia University in Wisconsin. I attended Concordia my freshman and sophomore year. Throughout those years I was really involved in extra curricular activities and really found my passion for Fashion. Although, I really enjoyed my experiences at Concordia I longed for a change and a larger University, so I ended up here. Like I said my major is in Public Relations, which I absolutely love. I have known I wanted to do PR since I was a little girl and well I guess you can say I'm still following my dreams. When people ask me why I love PR so much I always answer "the people." I love networking and meeting new people everyday. Living in a completely different country really gave me different perspective on life and cultures, and because of this I am eager to learn about others threw their own life experiences.

As of now my career plan is to move back to Trinidad after I graduate and start working for a well-known company. I am not really interested in working in a PR agency because in a business you can be involved in all aspects of the public relations, advertising and marketing whereas in a agency all you do is PR. I have really great and unique ideas, and I also enjoy designing so I want to be involved in it all. My dream job would be to work in Trinidad for Anya Ayoung Chee as her PR representative. Anya is from Trinidad and was actually 2011's Project Runway winner. She now owns her own company in Trinidad and is always traveling and throwing events, such as Fashion shows. I think for me this would link my love for PR and Fashion together, which is why it would be my dream job.
Well, I hope you have gotten to know a little about me. I will keep updating blogs about my life, experiences and more.
I am always up for comments and questions so please feel free to reply to my blogs, email me or follow me on Twitter @ChantzYoung.
Love always,
SB xoxo

That is awesome that you are originally from Trinidad and Tobago! I totally agree with what you said about how it gave you experience dealing with people and other cultures! Studying abroad is something I would love to do! Knowing that you wanted to do PR from a young age is very impressive! I don't know any little kid that has said that, but I think its so cool how you really are following your dreams! Good luck with everything!
Chantel, it is awesome that you are looking outside of the box in the work force. I like how you said you would rather work for a well-known company rather than just an agency to continue your dreams. I admire that aspiration. I wish you the best of luck with your future, goals, and life.
