think a little. (part 2)

            While reading the article, "How to become a deep thinker at college" it obviously made me think but it made me think about what classes to take in college, and how to not just aim for the bare minimum but to aim for a goal. A goal in college is a very common thing for most college students to start out with but those who actually reach their goal is a much smaller number than the ones that started with it. Quite honestly, i remember in high school when we firsts started the year off and all the teachers made their students write on a little note card asking their name, address, hobby, blah blah blah and also their goal for the year.  And of course everyone would write what the teacher wanted to see and then just forgot about it for the rest of the year. One of my teachers, my advisory teacher, took the goals seriously and i had this one class for 4 years with the same people and wed only go once a month but for 4 years and every time we went to this class she would hand back our goal papers to see if we wanted to add anything and see if we were keeping up with them. So everyone over the years changed their goals obviously and made them more realistic.

     In response to "The Learning Knights of Bell Telephone", I actually think it's pretty cool how Belle's top executives led the president of Bell Telephone of Pennsylvania to this whole big to do about going to college and studying more about education in general instead of just one specific field. It's also pretty nice that the Penn State campus gave the not so educated workers a way more liberal education. A whole 550 hours in total course work was being taught to them. So in response to the point being made, i totally agree that everyone at an early age, (18) should start thinking about if not know already what they want to do when they graduate or at least have an idea but i also think that at SCSU, our school has the right idea about not only knowing about your major but knowing other very important information about the general world.
