College Tour

In the Today's College Tour performance many issues were brought about such as being gay, physically inflicting pain, parents divorce, sex and love. I feel that every issues presented could be idenfiable to all students here at Lees-McRae. There were not many that I could relate to besides the one about love. I feel very blessed to have many people in my life that love me and that I love. I am sure there are many students that are facing some of the more intense issues but there are some great services around campus that can help out. In my psychology class we were introduced to the counseling service here that have professional counselors that can help. Also if you feel more comfortable with talking to people our age the is the group called C.A.T.E.A.R.S that can help as well. All in all the performance was not that interesting and I feel the information could be presented in a different matter but it was informative.

Liberal Arts

What is the value in a liberal arts education? Liberal Arts is a way of learning that is sometimes seen as "out of the box". It prepares you for the workforce in more then just all the book work you had to learn, such as communication skills, and responsibility.

For what kinds of jobs does a liberal arts education prepare you and what skills do you gain by participating in a liberal arts education? Liberal arts prepares you for all jobs! Due the skills that you learn from liberal arts they are used in every job out there today. Skills that you learn range from expanding your horizons to business communication.

Transcripts

This semester I plan to maintain my 3.5 gpa and hopefully increase it as well. My study habits last semester were not exactly how I wanted them to be. Due to this spring semester making the women's lacrosse team being in season this requires me to be on my "A" game with studying. I need utilize my free time and know when to study and when to go out with my friends. I am really looking forward to this semester as a time to take advantage of an agenda to keep my busy lacrosse schedule and jammed packed class schedule together.

Global Citizenship

I believe that being a global citizen means being a person who is aware of not only the country we live in but the world as a whole. I feel that this is important because being apart of the world as whole makes a more rounded person. What's wrong with being able to communicate with people from different countries? When a person is informed about the world around them they understand worldly issues.
