Strengths and Weaknesses

I think that the video that we watched was helpful and gave some very good tips about overcoming obstacles and problems in your life. How instead of problems blocking you from achieving your goals you should consider them a motivating factor and push yourself to overcome your issues. I also found the speaker to present himself as a  genuine person. He himself has had hard life experiences that he decided that werent going to hinder him from reaching his goals.Instead make him attemp his objective in life with much strength. I think that the charity that he manages is very generous and humanitaruim and that he gives good points on how life expeirnces should not weaken your drive to succeed. I feel enlightened a bit after watching the video because i  myself have gone through some very extennous circumstances that i have found very difficult to get overcome. Many times in my life have felt hopeless. I have felt that i wasn not going to be able to resolve my issues. Whats driving me to succeed is the want to development a fulfilling career that will allow me to pursue me passion of teaching. I also want to have the ability to provide my daughter with better opportunities. I want the opportunity to advance. I am currently a freshment in college and a fulltime mother. I am hoping that my pursuit of getting a bachelors degree will end with begining a career as a teacher. I want to also be a motivating factor to my younger siblings. I want them to realize that getting a college degree does prepare you for the field you want to gain.

Welcome

I picked American urban studies because it is a great liberal arts based major. I want to pursue childhood education as a career,but i am not certain. I want to explore other fields such as government, and law. My educational goals are to obtain my bachelors degree, by studying, researching and devoting time to learning the career i have chosen. Finding internship experiences that relate to education, law or government, So that i can get the experience i need to decide what career suits me best. Once i have established what career i want to pursue i will most likely search for that job and also further my studies.

I am not very good with technology, but i can get around with instruction.
