Final hooray

This will be make it or break it time! In my final presentation I will be speaking about the pros and cons of commuting. There is a lot if things to touch on this subject. One of many is having a job against staying on campus and not getting your own money. Yes it can be hard to commute at times but for some people it is very beneficial. As for me I use to live in the dorm and that was not for me so I moved back home and started to commute. I rather commute any day then stay in those dorms. I guess forming wasn't for me which for some people it is not. People say that commuting is the worst thing ever but it is really not ! I know plenty of people that commute and not only do you have a car, most people have a job, but you are also saving a lot of money to go to school. There is such a huge difference in the tuition from people that live on campus versus the people that commute. So I will be touching on those three main points in my video come back and see the final project I promise you it will be worth it!

Bilingual speakers

Personally, learning more then just your basic language (English) is great. Schools should definitely keep this in mind. It's Important knowing more then just one language. The most common language is Spanish. I've noticed how mostly every work place has a bilingual person working for there company. That reason is because theres a high rate of Hispanics in America today. In the work force knowing another language defiantly gives you a edge over other candidates. How Spanish is not the only language that can be beneficial to you in a work place or in the running for a job, you also have French, Japanese , and Portuguese which are all big also. Due to all these I agree that yes universities and highs schools should have language courses. There are not that many cons against knowing another language on the contrary it has many pros. Many people don't really look into that they just say " oh this is hard and a waste of time" but no knowing another language will get you alot closer to where you want to be at the end of the day.

Open Mic Night?!


One thing that has had my interest for a very long time is poetry. I just love poetry I love to read it, write it, and I love to hear it. I love how words can just make such an impression on people, it can move them and it can also lead them in the right direction. Many people don’t see how much words really influence other people.  I love to hear people that have been through things say their poems and the ones that actually get really into it I think they are the best. I will love to be able to grow some and be able to stand in front of people and read my poetry. Maybe one day I will but that is definitely one of my goals to do one day in my life. I remember the first day of orientation here at Southern Connecticut State University there was one girl that read a poem I think that was the only thing I really remember from that day. It really moved me the way she said it and the way she manipulated the words so you can feel each and every one of them. I think they should really have more poetry classes. Or even like a open mic night here for people that want to express themselves with poetry or other things such as painting. I know I would love that I think many other students would appreciate something of those sorts here. Maybe it can happen once a month or maybe even once a week. This would be something else that the students at Southern Connecticut State University can enjoy together as community. Well that is one of my interest that I think links to our community at SCSU. Now you tell me what do you think about this idea of having open mic night!
