Review of on-campus living

This past year at Lewis, I decided to live on-campus. Many people thought I was foolish for this reason mainly because I currently live only 25 minutes away. I was able to afford it and the curiosity of experiencing college for real made me want to live on-campus for my freshman year. Overall, it was one hundred percent worth it. I made many friends that I hope to be friends with for life, slept at least 3 times a week, learned to take care of myself, did whatever the heck I wanted to do. Living on campus may seem not completely worth it for people who are looking for the college experience of partying all the time. However, if you are that person, which I am not, it is what you make of it. I was looking for the college experience of being under my own room. Coming home right from class and laying in bed or doing homework, feeding myself etc. There are many opportunities and skills you build living on campus and I feel that the pros definately outweighed the cons. I'm exhilirated for living in North Hall next year.

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.
