Its about our Education

 

 

Since we could remember the majority of us would agree that we have questioned why we are learning something. We would think how this will apply to my life at some other time. More than we would know it but everything follows us for the rest of our lives. For example if you discover you are allergic to something, will you try again to eat that thing or will you remember you were allergic to the item. Once you have done something you will remember that thing.

Why did we all chose SCSU? Was it because we learn more than what we need for our major. Is it the fact that we are learning about what we will need to survive once we make it out of college? Might it even be that SCSU offers what some colleges might not which is developing their student’s academics?  These are all good questions but it comes down to Liberal arts education, which will prepare us for all that we will need to know.

The importance of liberal arts education is that it does not prepare you just for your major and the field of work you plan on going into but it gives you the out of the box learning. It does not focus on just one thing, but it gives us a piece of knowledge to know a bit of everything. Some people whose major might be nursing, might questions why they have to take a History class or etc. But when it comes further down the line we will only be able to understand the reason behind it.

What does this mean for student that chose to go to SCSU? You can think of this as if southern is preparing its students for the real world. It is also giving their students a more open education instead of focusing them on one topic which is their majors. In high school I as well as others would think to ourselves when we are going to need this in life. When the truth is that our education follows us for the rest of our lives. Many of us wouldn’t realize this but every day we come across situations that we have learned how to handle since grade school. When it is easy to pick up and remember how to do, we have already learned this and we then notice that our education will follow us and help us threw everyday situations.
