The best way to counter-act these fears is not through the same aggressive name-calling that generates racism and hate, but through education, understanding, and pro-active engagement in society. In my first year of University I joined many groups, some out of legitimate interest, and some out of complete curiosity. By my second year I was an active member of the Carleton Human…

My first ever art experience was doodling on a piece of paper when I knew how to hold a pencil. I don’t know where this artist gene came from, since all my family members worked in engineering or business. I am happy that my mom stands by my side all the time, and even encouraged me to go to an art school when I had no plan for my future college. My focus in this school, The School of Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC), is visual communication. I am preparing for the portfolio review this semester…

The program does contain its pros and cons; it just comes down to the individual if they are willing to tackle the…

Don’t be like me, kid. Go to college. Pursue that higher education for all it’s worth.’ And you’d nod, give them a reverent ‘Yes, sir!’ and know in your heart that had just unlocked the secret to the life you’d always dreamed of,” (Peech, Charlotte).

Prior to being enrolled in this class, I had never heard of SMART Goals before. After watching the video, I sat at my desk and thought about setting a good goal for me. I have to admit, I have never been good at setting goals for myself. It might be because I don’t like to set myself up for failure, or that I tend to stick with things that come easy to me. After multiple attempts of filling out the SMART Goals Worksheet, I decided that I would set a goal that could further my career in law…

Transitioning from a working team environment to a learning team environment can present some of the same difficulties discussed above. During my undergraduate studies at Warner Pacific College, I was introduced to the concept of a learning team. Prior to that, I had very little experience with this notion. I was introduced to a cohort of other working adults like myself, with diverse backgrounds and personalities. Coming from a military background, we often say that we are more adaptable…

my down falls. This is what led me to the career choice of choosing Jurisprudence as the pathway for me. Another strength that I’ve discovered is my ability to understand different government processes. This strength has lead me to choosing an undergraduate degree in Political Science.
