After the first year the school principal started noticing the work I was doing and was really impressed and asked had I ever considered going back to school and I said yes , but, and this started me to thinking .

...As we move out of the 20th century into a world where technology is changing the way we work and play and are educated, college enrollment is at an all time high. But based on the SAT and ACT scores, academic achievement has declined leading to the question in Joyce Baldwin's article, "Liberal Arts for New Millennium", of whether or not a liberal arts background should still be included in the definition of "an educated person". A half a century ago the traditional college degree was a bachelors in a liberal arts discipline. Recently a large number of degrees acquired are in a specific profession or in business, or business administration type discipline. While that worked for a long period of time, we are now in a changing world of advanced technology and globalization and reshaping and remodeling college curriculum to be up to-date needs to be evaluated. One of the issues is identifying the best way for colleges to prepare students in all facets of their life in the new millennium. There is an urgent need for a new set of guidelines, a revamping of our educational system to keep up with the times and to prepare students, as Baldwin puts it, "for life, work, and citizenship, safeguard our democratic society, and meet our obligations in the world" thus preparing students to be well rounded educated citizens. The sharp rise in tuition cost and the expectations of both students and parents have them scrutinizing whether or not they are getting the education they are paying...

...Self assessment is a process in which you examine yourself in attempt to discover and learn more about yourself. Your likes, dislikes, behaviors, attitudes and habits can be found during this process. You can use the discoveries to your advantage by accepting or changing strengths and weaknesses. I plan on using this course to enhance my personal skills to become a better student and find success in earning my Bachelor of Arts degree at Ashford University in Social Science. Self Assessment is the first step in my successful future. I can remember in high school, it seemed like I was always one of the last students finished with a test. I was sometimes slower at completing a written paper or an assignment. In open discussions about material we had just read, things weren’t sticking with me after reading to feel confident to raise my hand and be active with discussions. I would have to search for answers in my memory for some time. Sometimes answers just weren’t retrieved at all. I became frustrated in school often, and eventually developed a negative attitude toward school. I struggled a lot with this because I knew I could do better. Every day I prepared myself for failure because I lacked the tools and strategies that I needed to succeed in school. Granted, I got by, but I could have been a much better student. I earned low B’s and C’s, but should have been A’s. If I was interested completely in the subject there was for sure a difference in what I was comprehending. If there...

...Good Morning Ladies and Gentlemen, for the next few minutes I will share with you my perspective about beauty. I have a quote, which did not only capture my mind, but also captured my heart. Helen Keller said: “The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart.” She is American author, political activist, and lecturer. She was the first deaf blind person to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree she was blind. You might be wondering why I have decided to talk to you about this quote, but instead of me just telling you, I will take you to a journey that might place you in my position. Let me ask you this, with a raise of hands how many of you would like to live in a house like this? Well, it is a common goal in today’s fast-paced society to achieve monetary wellness in order to live what some people call “the good life”. In this house you have the latest technology and a crew of people that are more than willing to take care of all of your needs. Now, picture yourself in this house. It certainly does not compare, right? So what is my point? Why am I showing these pictures? Well what you do not know is that in the second picture lives an aged couple who had been married for over 20 years. They had lived together the toughest years of their lives in that simple house. They had seen their daughter grow, they saw how she would fail, but they also had the opportunity to see her achieve all of her goals. Now if you show this...

...only certain people should go to college, while others believe that everybody should go to college. Two prime examples of these opinions are the opinions of Sanford Ungar and Charles Murray. Ungar believes that everyone should go to college and receive some form of liberal arts degree, while Charles Murray believes that only students in to 90 percentile should go to college. Both men agree that a liberal arts degree is a great thing, but their opinions on when it should be taught and who it should be taught too are very different. While Murray’s points are somewhat accurate I believe that Ungar’s ideas are more persuasive because he recommends that everybody gets a liberal arts degree helping increase the amount of people with the critical thinking and communication skills businesses are looking for. Sanford Ungar wrote the essay 7 Major Misperceptions About the Liberal Arts. In this essay Ungar describes the benefits of getting a liberal arts degree. In misperception 2, Ungar states how even though people believe the notion of “who wants to hire someone with an irrelevant degree?” most businesses actually prefer students to have liberal arts degrees. The businesses want this because they know liberal arts schools mainly focuses on the key factors that they look for. For example, 89% of businesses included in a 2009 survey said that they were looking for more people to communicate orally and in writing more effectively. (Ungar) Ungar also...

...Wednesday, Sep 3, 2014 06:15 AM CST Robert Reich: College is a ludicrous waste of money The former secretary of labor on our broken higher ed model and how we can open more gateways to the middle class Robert Reich, ROBERTREICH.org This originally appeared on Robert Reich's blog. This week, millions of young people head to college and universities, aiming for a four-year liberal arts degree. They assume that degree is the only gateway to the American middle class. It shouldn’t be. For one thing, a four-year liberal arts degree is hugely expensive. Too many young people graduate laden with debts that take years if not decades to pay off. And too many of them can’t find good jobs when they graduate, in any event. So they have to settle for jobs that don’t require four years of college. They end up overqualified for the work they do, and underwhelmed by it. Others drop out of college because they’re either unprepared or unsuited for a four-year liberal arts curriculum. When they leave, they feel like failures. We need to open other gateways to the middle class. Consider, for example, technician jobs. They don’t require a four-year degree. But they do require mastery over a domain of technical knowledge, which can usually be obtained in two years. Technician jobs are growing in importance. As digital equipment replaces the jobs of routine workers and lower-level professionals, technicians are needed to install, monitor, repair, test, and upgrade all the equipment. ...

...Arizona State University in Tempe. Chung’s work has been included in such publications as Contemporary Ceramics, The Art of Contemporary American Pottery, The Complete Guide to High Fire Glazes, and Masters of Porcelain. Sam Chung has a unique view of what he likes for his pottery pieces; he is interested in the way that pots have the unique ability to serve a multitude of roles and functions. He likes to not just make ordinary symmetrical pieces, but something more with a curve and a part of clay here and there to where you don’t know what to do with it other than look at it and be amazed. He is interested in a pot’s ability to contain not only physical matter, but also elements of history, memory, familiarity, and suggestion. I for one really like how some of his work looks, I like the different unique style of work. He goes above what the average artist does. It looks like, by what I saw he did, that he likes to use mainly white with black line looks, but in later years he has done more with color in his work. I like the black and white more, just because it is a more neutral and I like those colors in art better than the reds or blues or greens etc. In recent work Sam Chung has used a cloud pattern on his work. This is used a lot in Korean work as well. For his schooling he got a Master of Fine Arts Degree (M.F.A.) in Ceramics. He also got a Bachelor of Arts Degree (B.A.) in Ceramics. His interest is in the challenge of creating pots that reflect our contemporary time while...

...Moyo Ogundipe was born in a small town in Nigeria in 1948. His father was a teacher. He was introduced to art at a young age, and it stuck. He gained a Bachelor of Arts degree in Fine Art from the University of Ife, Ile-Ife, Nigeria and a Master of Fine Arts degree in Painting from The Hoffberger School of Painting, Maryland Institute College of Art, Baltimore. Ogundipe has exhibited extensively in Nigeria, Europe and the United States , including The Orlando Museum of Art, the Maryland Museum of African Art, the New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York, and in “African Renaissance: Old Forms, New Images” at the Denver Art Museum. Moyo Ogundipe left his home town and came to the United States in the 1980s. He says he had to leave Nigeria because of economic, political, and technical reason. He says that his economy collapsed and was run by corrupt military talent. Nigeria wasn’t free politically under the military talent. Ogundipe says he needs a free environment, like America, to grow his talents. He can show his work to a larger and more sophisticated work audience in America. He also has access to all sorts of supplies here in America. Whereas, in Nigeria art supplies is scarce and expensive. Even though Ogundipe loves the freedom he gets from living in America he says he does feel a sense of isolation in the diaspora, a sense of vulnerability. He misses his family, water, smell, sight, sun, warmth, and dust of home. He says that there is a loneliness that enters energizes...
