Career Fair

Today, I am planning on attending the major career fair at around 12:00 pm. I have this up coming reflection paper about four different major I am interested in learning more about, which goes along with the career fair. I am kind of a little nervous about this paper because I really don't have four differeent major I am interested in; I only have about two. The other two major are just something I am not interested in but is opened to learn more about. The hard part about this project is that I have a hard time writing about subjects I am not interested in. The paragraphs usually are shorter then the ones I am interested in and that's because when I have something I actually like, I tend to have more to say plus more interesting topics to discuss in that papers. But now that I have to write an reflection paper on four major's, I glad that I have the opportunity to go to this career fair because I'm sure they will have something useful for me to talk about in my paper on the major's I am not so intereested in, which are Fitnee Management and Accounting.

Where Am I Now?

I am a little past the beginning of my starting point. This is a starting point to making the best out of this great opportunity called liberal education. What is liberal education? While an liberal education can be define in many different ways depending on the value of the subject that's being describe. But, at Wartburg College, they define a liberal education as preparing for the future, which means developing strength in the mind and self-thinking strategies, while being able to explore variety of things in college as while as in your major courses. A liberal art school prepares their students to be able to recognize the old knowledge from the new knowledge. We learn to become good writers, readers, researchers, and problem solvers. If that's not a good way to learn then I don't know what way would be. I'm happy I chose Wartburg, or maybe Wartburg chose me, because by this decision I know I will be prepared for the real world and everything that comes with it.

An unexaming life is NOT worth living

What do you think about this quote? Today, in IS class this quote really had me thinking, thinging about a lot. It had me thinking about the reason for me coming to college and how my response is similar to many different people, especially those people who have came from some bad, unstable environments. Everyone has a reason for wanting to go to college, but what makes their response different from the next person? Well, if you really think about it, their all the same; whether the reasonings are money, better jobs, my parents made me and to be better then your parents. Either way the situations all come down to the same reasonings. I don't want my response to be the same nor similar to everybody else. I want my response to be unique in it's own way. I want my response to mean something and have the next person thinking, "wow this gilr really knows what she wants in life". I don't want to exam my life, better yet I want to create my own life. I have to take this opportunity, at Wartburg College, in use my time to figure out what it is exactly that I came here for, and what it is that I want to do with my life. I'm leaving my past behind, living in the present but seeking for the future!

Sometimes When It Doesn't Fit You Have To Let It Go!

This is starting to become a very stressful school year at Wartburg College. The work is hard and it seems to be taking up a lot of my time; and on top of that ,I have to let go a very special event in my life, which is basketball. See, I've been playing basketball since I was in 4th grade. I've played during my school years and as well as the summer. I can't even remember a time; I haven't spent my time running up and down a court. I love basketball and everything about it. I love the struggle of playing against some of the most athletic girl's. I love the fact that it takes teamwork and dedication to win the game. I love the enthustism; that comes along with the sport. Basketball means a lot to me. I've been living in some of the worst environments, and basketball has kept me out of a lot of trouble. But I was so dedicated to playing basketball, that I wouldn't allow anything nor anyone try to influence me into doing something that could've prevented me from playing the sport that I love, basketball. This year, I 've decided that for the first time, since 4th grade, I'm not going to be playing ball because it's not fitting in with my responsiblities. My school work and paying off my school fees are my most important goals, at this moment. I don't like it, but it's something I'm definitely going to have to make sacrifices for. I guess basketball will be on hold til I feel I can manage my time for it, my school work and working. Reality is really starting to hit me now!

You Don't Understand

You don't understand that I don't believe this is for me anymore.
You don't understand the stress I'm feeling everyday
The white spaces surrounding me walks around with so much pride
No stress, no pain, just living through life with no worries.
I on the other hand go through each day with a fact that i just want
to give up, I wonder if I'm going to be able to make it another day
You don't understand, that I have never felt this way before and
It's taking a hold of me
What do I do
Where do I go
 What will I say
They will not understand
You don't understand that I am going through a difficult stage
But I won't show my face!

Don't Judge A Book By It's Cover

Last week, in IS class we started watching Jurassic Park. My first impression on the movie was really bad. I almost fell asleep trying to watch it. I thought it was the most stupid and uninteresting movie I've ever been force to watch. At the end of class, I had know idea what was going on, I couldn't even stay focus long enough to even watch the movie. My mind just kept wondering off, in every direction literally. But, today in IS class I had a more positive impression on the movie Jurassic. I was able to get more into the movie, when the dinosaurs started attacking people (when the actions began). I guess since I was interested in what was accuring in the movie, today I was able to stay focus long enough to kind of have an idea on what the purpose of the movie might be. I was defiinitely able to understand what was happening and why. I still am not a big fan of the movie Jurassic Park, but I will say that today part of the movie had my mouth open almost through the whole class period. Very shocking I would say!

How Could You

I am very angry and sad all at once about what happened to me last night.  Late last night I decided to that it was time for me to wash my cloths, so I took my cloths down to the basement floor of Vollmer. I was in a rush and had a lot of stuff in my hands. I just wanted to hurry up washing and go to bed; but let me say that this was my first time washing my own cloths, so you can picture how I was. There was about 4 other girls doing their laundry as well. Anyway, I had a lot of items in my hands so I set aside a 10 dollar roll of quarters on top of a dryer, so that I could put my cloths in the washer machine. When i finished putting my cloths in the wash, I turned to pick up the roll of quarters (so that I could put them in the wash) nothing was there, neither were the four other girls, but I didn't realize that right away. I started looking around trying not to think the worst but it was obvious that somebody stole my quarters. I am very angry and disappointed. If I wanted somebody to take what was mine away from me I would've stay in Chicago, real talk!!!!
