Pilot or Air Traffic Controller

Throughout the second semester I have been taking flying lessons. As an air traffic control major, I only planned to earn my private pilot License just because it has always been a dream of mine. However, after flying for over two months so far, I have fallen in love with flying. My instructor even mentioned to me that I should consider switching my focus from being an air traffic controller to being a pilot. I have continued to do reasearch on the matter and the decision of which path to take will be one if not the biggest decision of my life. My family thinks that I have a lot of time to think and decide which one is for me. But the reality is, there is not much more time left to decide. This reason is because after I earn my private pilot license, which will be around mid-summer, I will be working to get my Instrument rating. After my sophomore year I will have obtained my instrument rating, the decision to either continue flight training to work on my commerical rating or to stop flight training to focus on air traffic control will necessary for the start of my Junior year of college. There are many many factors that go into each one as well as multiple pros and cons. I am confident that my heart will lead me to God's plan for me.

Dear Dr. Kyburz, I just want to thank you for a fantastic year both first semester and second semester. This class has made me thoroughly enjoy writing so much more than I ever have. You have introduced many different new techniques of finding research, summarizing articles and documentaries, using narrative glue, and especially rhetorically analyzing. With using the concept of writing early and revising often helped me earn the grade I desired. I look forward to using the skills that I have developed the past two semesters for my future classes and later in life. Thank you Dr. Kyburz for everything!! This is my presentation video that depicts how progress has affected me throughout the year. I posted this with my e-Portfolio because I was not sure if I would get the opportunity to present this to my classmates.  This image signifies process . Throughout the last two semesters I feel like I have made lots of progess with the projects I created. The project's goa

Documentary Reflection Questions

1)    One scene that got to me was when Tom Seeberg, the father of Lizzy Seeberg, shared the terrible news of how she took her own life. Lizzie was assaulted and raped by a football player at Notre Dame. She filed a complaint report to the University the next morning, but they never attempted to locate him for questioning. The school claimed they simply “could not locate the individual. Only to know that he was a starting football player for the team, so they knew exactly where he was. Tom explains how no one from the University attempted to help her or investigate her case, which inadvertently led to her suicide. This boils my blood. I was in awe watching this scene. I felt anger and sever empathy for Tom. Watching how political and corrupt college campuses are for protecting student athletes because of money over students’ lives is just extremely unacceptable. If this were to occur in the Middle Ages, perpetrators would be hung in the middle of a town for everyone to see. 2)

Three years left

Is this it? This year has absolutely flown past. The amount of experiences that I have experienced this year is enormous. It is extremely hard to believe that I will be able to go through this extraordinary year three more times. Until me, my friends are dumped out into the real world. It can be vey scary. At least when I deeply think about how soon graduation will be coming. However, I have learned so much this year. It feels like that I have learned more things this year, than my whole career in high school. Of course I began studying something I am so passionate about which is the main reason, but there's something unique that I love about college that points my excitement for what's next to come.
