When I started, my only real goal was to help the small museum I volunteered with. I love museums and thought this would be a better way to understand them and be able to help preserve history and somehow make a difference. I have no idea exactly what I want to do when I graduate, but I know I feel better prepared to help the small museum that inspired me in the first place.
