I loved reading your posts about how you choose your majors. So many of you picked majors because they excite you, they'll give you a route to help other people or even remained undeclared because you're curious about everything. And that is all great. College can be so, so, so stressful and having a major that makes you happy or giving yourself time to pick that perfect one is a great way to help you not get too stressed. I'd really urge you to read a bunch of your classmates' posts this week. They're awesome.
Lauren has a great reflection about some of the experiences throughout her life that inspired her to become a teacher. As does Morgan, who also wants to be a teacher, writing that "I want to have a job where I can really make a difference in lives, not just sit at a desk all day, even if it does make good money"
Jocelyn also has a really touching story about how she realized she wanted to be a nurse. Cedric, Rick and Isabel are all balancing the practicalities of life with their artistic callings (perhaps y'all should collaborate on an art piece?)
Quinnton sounds like he'll have a future at the ACLU and Mike, is Sterling-Cooper-Draper-Pryce hiring?
And best image this week? Hands down, Madison. That gif is mesmerizing!
If I didn't link to someone's, believe me, your posts were just as moving. Well done, guys. Keep working hard and not stopping (except for brief pauses to recharge, of course.)
For homework before Wednesday, I would like you to check out this list of photos. We've been working mainly with our thoughts and words so far, but soon we'll be moving into visual communication. I'd like you to think about what kinds of stories these photos tell and how they're different from reading a description of an event.
