Liberal Arts

Liberal arts are the classes that provide students with a general knowledge. Students who take liberal arts classes would be prepared to work in a variety of different jobs. Some liberal arts classes include a language. history, writing class, a science, and a pyschology class.I think that liberal arts classes are valuable because they are general knowledge classes that can prepare you for any job. It looks good when you apply for a job because it shows that you would be able to adapt to changes, as well as have written and verbal communication skills, and be able to solve problems.I want to become a teacher and I am currently taking liberal arts classes to prepare me for my education specific classes. I am glad I start with liberal arts classes because they are preparing me for my later classes my future. :)

Transcript

For the fall semester of my freshman year I got a 4.0. I was very proud of myself especially since I set a goal of getting a 3.5 or higher. It was very rewarding to get a 4.0 and get a letter home saying I was on the deans list. I took a math, reading, rhetoric, spanish, aerobics, and fye class. In order to get such good grades in each class I had to study for all my tests and quizzes as well as do my homework on a daily basis. In some cases I even went to the tutoring center for help when I did not understand something. I also took really good notes in class so that I could look back and review them if I needed. Plus when I write things down it helps me remember them.As we are now underway with our second semester my goal is still to keep my grade above a 3.5. That is because I would like to be on the deans list all four years. Some of my classes will be harder this semester but I believe that if I keep the same work habits I will be able to do just as well as last semester. I am currently in lacrosse but in high school that actually helped me more because I had to balance my time!So far I am off the a great start, and I look forward to seeing how my second semester turns out. :)

Todays College Tour

I attended Todays College Tour on February 18th in Evans. I really had no idea what to expect. It didnt take me long to realize that it was about the issues that college students face.
The only one that I was able to somewhat relate to was the relationship one. I am in a relationship right now and that just gave me the heads up of what can happen. For our campus as a whole I believe that all of the issues could apply to the students here at Lees McRae. A few of my friends here have divorced parents, and sometimes that can be hard to deal with. Also it is very clear that people on campus are gay, or are confused about their sexuality. I think that if these people dealing with these issues see that it happens to students at all colleges that they wouldnt feel alone. Also there are people on campus that are willing to listen. It helps to talk about things, and we have people on campus to listen and keep it confidential.
This show could be helpful to college students everywhere!
