My Academic Career Thus Far

My academic career thus far has been extremely uncertain. I have transferred schools several times, and just transferred to Manhattanville this past fall. In the past I have taken a little bit of everything and have finally decided that I am going to be majoring in political science, and minoring in English.

I am very passionate about both areas and I feel that they are extremely important. I feel that these two areas of study compliment each other very well. I think that writing is an invaluable tool that I will undeniably be in need of regardless of what field I end up in in the future, and that is why I have chosen to minor in it. In the future I would like to incorporate the two areas and possibly write for some form of political journal whether it be a newspaper, magazine, etc.

I am very excited to be a voice for politics, and I think that it is very important for young people to be aware of what is going on in not only in our own country, but in others as well, because sooner than later it is going to have an affect on our future.

I think that this course will be helpful to me because I think that I am going to come out of it better able to express myself for the type of writing that I would like to do. I want to make my voice heard and I think that this class is going to hopefully provide me with the tools to be able to successfully do so.

That's very interesting. I wonder where you stand on the political field, since you have a very strong from what I saw here, and you could argue intelligently and coherently on both sides with a great deal of skill.

Writing suits you very well.

Going from school to school, you must have a sense of how different communities work. In a sense, you might be looking at all that transferring as a bad thing, but in a way I am sure you have different experiences. With those experiences and your final decision on your interests, I feel you will be able to use it more to your advantage!
