Lazers
Ever since i was young i never really had the desire to attend school i always felt it was something I was forced to do. After watching the laser movie, I have come to realize that I am a number of things, for one I could be a visitor, a seeker, and a explorer. These three have suited me the best throughout the entire video due to the things said by the interviewees.
In the visitor class, I am a new incoming student attempting to make my own in this new environment. I know nothing of college life and only hope to fit in with my peers, I struggle greatly with how to adapt to the new work load compared to when I was still in high school. There was a large shift in the amount of pages needed to be written in an essay, in high school, the maximum for me to write was roughly three pages, here I'm writing a twenty four page essay and still going. When I first entered, I felt like an outsider, a person who didn't belong in society. I also did not have a clear path in which my future would take me, I wanted to in the medical field, but now it seems to be like a second thought.
As for the seeker category, I know what classes I'm taking, fulfilling my GE courses and hopefully transferring to a good four year institution. That is my main goal as of right now and it seems to be the only real path that I can follow. Though this may sound like a contradiction to the statements above, I have faced heavy workloads in high school before, and well, I've learned to adapt to these things rather quickly. I have faced this in my AP courses in during the four years in high school and those courses have prepared me quite well if I have to say so for myself. I generally have control over myself and have the ability to manage my time considerably well.
And finally we have the explorer category. This category would suit me the best since I have no real clear path in which I want to take. I take a bunch of GE classes that seem interesting and hopefully it fulfills the requirements I need to transfer into another institution. I know for sure that I want to head into a four year institution for a higher education and obtain a degree that I can be proud of. That is a clear path that I must absolutely follow through with in hopes to push through with my prideful self. I just hope I know how to obtain this goal... long ways away, but the journey has only just begun!
