Online and Street Promotions

By: Sabastian Barron

How I Got Into This Profession

Back in sophomore year in high school, in Career Management class. We had to do a project for something we wanted to do so I went toward

music; we also had to conduct an interview with someone within that field so I went to a musician from a local band, and conducted an interview

with him which ended up being about five to six pages in length. This was one of the best interviews out of the entire class, however once I did the

interview and that project I was hooked on music entertainment and wanted to manage bands, and preform on stage. I will continue to chase

my dreams, and work and push myself to accomplish more I have already accomplish my life.
