#8 The Finale?!

     Hello fellow adventurers! As my blogging career is coming to an end I thought I would just talk about the future. 

    I am finishing up my latest semester and thought it would be a good idea to summarize how I feel I did, and ask myself will it help me? Starting with the prior. I felt like I have applied myself adequately through this semester. I turned in almost everything on time while fighting back illness, traveling and holiday. I did not excel at writing papers, but then again I never have. To be honest with all of you I have hated English as long as I can remember. In school I loved reading the books, but hated writing and grammar. I actually failed all four years of English in high school. Yes, I am a native speaker of English! haha. I am no where near failing English this semester as of yet and I think that is something to be celebrated. 

    Now for the harder question will it help me? In my mind most definitely not, but it could possibly help me. I will never find myself in a career field where I will have to write a huge paper with documented sources. Nor will I ever apply for a field with that kind of thing in it. The thing I think that will pry help the most is the critical thinking skills. Looking at a news article and figuring out if its legitimate or if its sources are legitimate. Something like that will never hurt anyone, it will only make them a more intelligent person.

    I guess what I am trying to get at is never look at something as all bad and all good. Try and look back on your experiences with open eyes and an open mind. You never know maybe you will find your calling by doing just that.

For the last time, I hope you roll a high initiative!
