Hi. As those of you who have read my thesis know
The topic above and beyond the general topic which we all wrote our theses on
Is questions and the answers to those questions.
So, most of my time is dedicated to answering your questions.
Next week is the second to last week I'm going to be here. I'm like, whoa! Pretty weird.
Thor makes an excellent point. All questions are to be on the topic of the thesis which is 'has Thor taken responsibility for preparing himself for being an effective adult in the larger community
So please when you're raising your questions, keep that in mind.
You're basically writing a defense of your adulthood.
And then, prove that you are actually right there.
You write it and then people say 'you were wrong about this' 'well no I wasn't, here's why.'
In response to your first question, I'm going to have to go with a general topic which is Discourse.
I've had conversations about pretty much everything.
I can remember one time where I spend at least an hour and a half discussing the philosophical merits of a particular conversation path on a specific video game.
Which is something most people would think had no real merit but I think it's something that stands out in my mind.
I was nervous for the first forty seconds and then I said, 'wait, why am I nervous?'
I hope I don't sound too clichéd but I'd like to get rid of things like bigotry and hatred but on a more realistic scale
I'd like to become someone who has the power to affect in a larger sense the path of the world towards those goals.
I've thought about a lot of different things. I've thought about being an engineer. I don't know that I'll pursue that path.
I've thought about going into law or political science, politics.
I can't specify any one thing. I'm going to miss everything about this school.
j.c., school meetings, conversations, watching people walk pass talking about things and catching snippits.
When I finished and Christa said, 'that's our time,' I was like ahhhh, and I felt a rush of pride in myself which is something I don't get too much. I tend to be more self-deprecating than I should be.
I'm going to Ursinus in the fall. Ursinus College in Philadelphia.
I also got accepted at Saint Johns College in Annapolis and it was a really difficult decision to decide which of the two I wanted to attend.
One way that I intend to adapt to the idea of taking classes after having not done so for quite some time
Is remembering that education is in the heart of the listener
not in the voice of the teacher.
I've been free my whole life. I've spent the last six years at Fairhaven where freedom is
the everything, really.
Being wild is one of the greater things that comes from this educational model.
You learn to be impulsive while being able to control your impulses. You learn to be
Free, while at the same time realizing that there are restrictions you must put on yourself.
A wild animal, as opposed to a caged animal knows...
Knows chaos and can adapt to it.
