¶ … intended to earn a Bachelor's degree in Biology with a Minor in Psychology. However, soon after I began, my mother was diagnosed with cancer and I was greatly distracted by this. My grades suffered as I attempted to deal with my coursework and my family issues. Towards the end, I felt I could no longer sustain my commitment to a degree in Biology, so I decided that in order to attain my goal of simply graduating with a 4-year degree I should switch to Liberal Studies, as I already had a wide array of credits under my belt that would count towards this goal. Switching my focus allowed me to relieve some of my university stress and devote more of my time to my mother's needs. It also exposed me to a lot of interesting classes that I otherwise might never have discovered. Below is a list of the courses I took for the Liberal Studies major:

What I really liked about taking all these different courses was that each contributed in some way to my intellectual development and my understanding of how the world works. For instance,...
Ferrero allowed me the opportunity to travel to Tennessee and contribute to a sustainable community, where I was able to see how people live without having anything: from the ground up, they built their lives and showed a tremendous amount of innovation and care for one another. It was truly a life-changing experience that reshaped the way I think about myself and the world in which I live. I felt like I was being challenged to do something great and significant like these people, something beyond the status quo.
Other classes gave me a similar experience, though in different ways. For example, my United States History course contributed to my knowledge of American history, which really impressed on me the way that life was in the early days of the country's founding. I could not help but think how things have greatly changed and why. Sometimes I wondered to myself if things were getting better or worse, or if they were running in a kind of cyclical fashion. My Intro to Religious Studies course also made me wonder about the world: there were so many different interpretations about the spiritual life and different ways that cultures and religions taught. My knowledge of religion was somewhat deepened by this class and I found myself wanting to talk to others about some of the more interesting parts of various religions so that I could hear their thoughts and share my own. This course was complemented by the Religion in America course which interested me even more. I had always wondered about the different religions in America and where they came from and how they spread. Mormonism for example was one that I had always heard of but never understood. This class was very interesting because it opened my eyes about how religions develop and how they really started in the U.S. and the role that they continue to play in the nation's culture.
My Introduction to Shakespeare class was another interesting contribution to my knowledge of English literature. I had always heard of Shakespeare and had known of a few of his plays, but getting to engage with them directly was an experience that I will not forget. Shakespeare had some very deep and emotionally and intellectually stirring passages that really made…
C.O.R.E. And Its Role in the Black Freedom Struggle Nearly one hundred forty years ago, a tall, and not very good-looking, bearded man stepped out onto a great, open field. His tired eyes wandered over the bloody ground, over the earth covered with corpses, over the scene of one of the greatest battles in American History, and his words rang out true and clear -."..Our fathers brought forth on this
While Cadbury was initially vulnerable resulting in this take over, Kraft had to borrow heavily to afford the final price of 850p per share. In the coming months and years, Kraft will have to balance against recovering the money put into this acquisition (Wiggins, 2010). A risk, many British politicians and citizens alike fear will mean the end of their signature chocolate in an effort by Kraft to increase
Good researchers tend to pull methods out of a tool kit as they are needed" (2006, p. 54). Notwithstanding these criticisms and constraints, though, most social researchers seem to agree that classification by some type of research paradigm is a useful approach based on the need to determine which approach is best suited for a given research enterprise. In this regard, Corby concludes that, "The contested nature of research
This is going to get done by means of using email, text messaging and the Internet to interact with my workers in a professional manner. Regardless, I am shaping my staff to change and become better people. I will have to maintain an open mind to their various ideas, and see whether or not they are able to get implemented within the Hospice. As I strive to become a better
