I am finally beginning to gain more appreciation for the Aquinas program and the way in which it functions. Now that we are learning in our specific disciplines I am definitely thinking more and being more open to new ideas and thoughts all around. Journalism has surprised me in a great way. I was not sure what to expect from that specific class, but thus far, it is the course that is really opening my eyes to so many issues and topics that I need to be aware of. Also, it has broadened my perspective of what journalism actually is and the huge role that journalists play within our world. I am a naturally curious person and I feel that journalism will be a huge aid in helping me understanding how to channel that curiosity in a way that will actually benefit myself and others as well. I have a passion for being a voice for individuals who do not have a voice and I am realizing that journalism may be one way to pursue this passion. This past week I was able to attend the Michael Harris lecture which turned out to be a occasion and speech to listen to. I find it fresh to hear a story from the perspective of someone who truly cares about the specific story and has personal experience with it. I know that I have mentioned this before, but I am really glad that in all three classes and with all three professors I am being challenged to be a more critical thinker and articulator. I am finding it difficult at times to communicate what I am thinking through words and on paper, but this is a skill that I know will become sharper as the year progresses.
