Out of Class Activity – Major and Career Exploration Workshop

Comments 0 Comment

I just attended the major and career exploration workshop zoom with Donna Jaspar Garvis. Only a couple of other students went, but that actually ended up making the workshop more interactive. We started out by going over what exactly a career is and specific examples of people who ended up changing paths later in life. We then went over the different elements that should go into career decision making. You should not only be thinking about your interests, but should…

Seasons I drive through a world  where the trees are on fire  and their branches are burning with leaves of red and orange.  The bitterness of a mid-october breeze rushes past my face  and makes its way to disturb the peace  of the fragile leaves laying on the ground. . And I can’t help but think  that soon my world will be frozen,  and those fragile leaves will lay forgotten under layers of snow. Snow that sparkles  when the sunlight…

I had almost forgotten about you, before I was somehow sitting  in your passengers seat with the windows down. Like a time machine  brought me back  to the you that I know, not a stranger I haven’t spoke to in months. And I woke up confused  because I wasn’t in your car. So I begged my mind  to never play tricks  on me like that, ever again.

Towards the beginning of this chapter, Bain tells the story of Joe who went from believing he was smart because that was what everyone told him, to later in life starting to question his abilities because he was told things like he could be getting better grades. People would say things to Joe like, “‘You used to be so smart. What happened to you?’ Gradually, Joe decided that he wasn’t all that bright and that he would never be a…

Island Days I miss the ocean breeze in the mornings, When life was so simple. I’d collect four leaf clovers, I’d spend my days at the beach. . When life was so simple, I’d never worry about tomorrow.  I’d spend my days at the beach, Smiling and laughing like a kid. . I’d never worry about tomorrow,  If I never grew up.  Smiling and laughing like a kid, I was so lucky. . If I never grew up, I’d collect…

I want to know how you think And why you do the things that you do. It never made sense to me,  I wonder if it makes sense to you. But every now and then  When you say just the right thing, I’ll forget why I was mad  And question my own thinking. From an outside perspective It’s so easy to see That your version of logic Is so far from reality. But when I try to tell you that,…

Interview Questions What interests you about and/or made you want to study Sociology? In his article, Ernest Boyer presents the idea of an enriched major. One of the questions that an enriched major should respond to is, “What are the ethical and moral issues to be confronted (in that field)?” What are some of the big moral and ethical problems that the Sociology program looks to address?  Another aspect of the enriched major is that it should take a look…

Sociology: Something that really interests and excites me about sociology after doing this research is that with this major, you can get a career in journalism which I wasn’t aware of. Journalism is a career that I’m starting to become more interested in and I am also very interested in sociology/psychology, which makes me want to continue looking into these fields. Environmental science: For the last assignment, I looked more into environmental science. I’m interested in environmental science because the…

Puma As the air gets colder  and the leaves change color, I can’t help but think about my friend who left and never came home. A little black cat,  his name was Puma. But his old spot on my bed  is left vacant and cold. Days seem so long  when you’re waiting on something not promised.  Then days turned into weeks, when as I realized he’s really gone.  I wish I could’ve said bye  to my little buddy Puma maybe…
