Why are we here?

September 29, 2006 pinky1

In our class discussion about the two scholarly articles it made me wonder why am I here? I had the attitude of I just need a grade, this class doesn’t have anything to do with my career. I just wanted a passing grade, and then I thought why is it that I am willing to just pay for something to get by? I really need to be grateful for the situation I am in, and be grateful for the education. There are alot of other individulas that wish the could be in my position. The more I think about it the more my attitude starts to change.

In one of my other dance classes, we are required to read a chapter each time we go to class. We have a class discussion on the chapter we have read. I feel that when we have class discussions in English and we really talk about what the writer wants the reader to get from the article or chapter etc… I really helps me analize what the writer is say and fully understand what the point is.

I have been out of school for about six years, I know some may say that this isn’t long. I think it is.I am amazed at how much I have forgotten. It is really hard to get back in the school mode. I feel this class can be overwhelming at times, but the information we receive while in class has really helped me. I can see how much things have changed since I decided to go to school.

The reason why I am here is to better myself, with knowledge and education. I do believe that by being told something will never be as good and knowing why you are doing what you are told to do. I just hope I can continue with my attitude and take in what is taught and be able to do the best I can with what I am given.
