In support of children with cancer...
This
week in the student center they had an event where student sold baked good in
order to donate profits to a hospital. They explained how there are children
around the world they may not even make it to ten years old because, of this. I
was not aware of how severe of a problem that it is. I knew about it but, I didn’t
know how many children it effected and it made me want to donate in order to
help in any way that I can. Also they told me they researched the place where
the donations go so the money won’t go towards someone’s pay check. Also another
reason I was happy to donate was because, they gave me a cupcake!!! On a more serious
note I was very happy to donate to the cause.
Is it needed?
Is Creativity
or Liberal Arts more important to teach in school?
I think you need a little bit of
both in schools because, you need both in order to be successful in any task. You
need to know the basics when you try to be creative in order to create any idea
you have. Also there is no point of learning the basics if you are not going to
apply your new found knowledge into something productive. Both are needed to
complete even the most basic of task. The work together just as your two legs
work together when walking.
Creativity can give someone the
drive to do something worth-while. Creativity is what all great inventers used
in order to create the next big thing. Creativity is what gives people the
drive to improve already invented objects to improve quality of living. Creativity
is what can get you a better grade by going above and beyond with any task you
have.
Liberal arts are needed so people
can at least know how to function in the most basic conversations. Without this
people may be out of the loop a lot because, of the lack of knowledge that a
person knows. With liberal arts people can be creative in a lot of ways. A person
may not be the smartest person in the world but, if they combine the two they
can accomplish a lot. Both things are needed in to even make it out of elementary
school. They wont let you leave without knowing how to read and write. Also they
assign you projects where you have to think outside of the box and the more
creative usually the better the grade. Even in 1st grade they try to
teach you simple math and reward you by coloring pictures. Most may think of it
as just coloring but, you are using your brain to create your ideas.
Weekly Dosage
This week’s
word are creativity, innovation, and will. Creativity is when you think outside
of the box by making something different from everyone else. Creativity is
needed in order to make your work unique. Innovation is when you strive to
improve already invented objects. Innovation is always needed in order to
improve living among people. Will is what drives people to accomplish the
smallest or biggest goals no matter how hard it is. This is always needed in the
work force because, if you are working with another person it can help you work
fast and more efficient. When you use all three of these things together
nothing can stand in your way.
which means more to you???

True value of liberal arts
What is
the value of liberal arts???
“Liberal arts is founded on a whole person, developing a
person athletically and academically. Liberal arts is going international. The
21st century is one of entrepreneurship and innovation. There will not be fixed
careers. The liberal arts teaches you to think outside the box.”
By:
Professor Chopp
Liberal arts not only helps you get
a degree for a major of your choice but, generally educates you in the basics. By
the basics I mean things such as math and reading. Some may think you may not
use these skills in the real world but they are sadly mistaken. No one will
want to hire a person who can’t do basic math to solve simple problems. Or won’t
be able to complete a task from their boss because, they can’t read and
understand what the boss emailed them to do.
In the quote from this week’s
readings it Professor Chopp it speaks that entrepreneurship is a major thing in
today’s 21st century. Without knowing the basics there is no way a
person can run and/or properly maintain a business. Some may say that the math
that is thought today such as calculus will never be needed if I want to be a
fireman or something that doesn’t really involve advanced math. With that
comment a person is wrong because, when people do harder levels of math it
keeps the brain working and helps you intake information better. So in fact
these hard problems that everyone hates is in fact making you smarter.
Also learning liberal arts is good
just for being educated and knowing what you are talking about. When leaving
college most schools want you to be at a certain intellectual level. For example
do you really want to have a doctor operate on you if they can’t read off of a
paper what’s wrong with you???

A trip downtown…
A few
weeks ago I went downtown for the first time to go to a club. I was kind of
excited but, I was also kind of nervous. I heard stories about how the buses
sometimes stop working after a certain time and I didn’t want to walk back to
campus. So when we got to downtown it was nice and it reminded me about New York
a little bit. We ended up taking a cab home because, we were too afraid to
depend on anything else. The overall feel when downtown was a good one. I lived
in the city my whole life and it felt good to see some stores around and
buildings in order to make me feel like I am home.
