Famous Last Words: Finishing the Course


(Accomplishment

This is my final post in Myth-Folklore! Throughout the course, I wrote many stories and expanded my writing skills greatly. I also loved the reading! Since I don't read everyday, this class allowed me to explore various readings from many different areas. My favorite stories can be seen in my Portfolio here! I did not think making a portfolio would be fun, but it was my favorite assignment in the week. Apart from the Portfolio assignments, I enjoyed the extra credit options, especially the extra commenting, learning challenges, and growth mindset options. Looking back, starting ahead and staying on track of my extra credit really helped me when it was time for midterms.

Today was my last midterm, and I finally feel relieved! Although I did not do as well as I hoped, I'm just glad they are done. I have been studying for what seems like a month. I might actually have a weekend this time. I have missed out on many opportunists due to my midterms, so I can finally catch up and enjoy life! But, enrollment starts next week, and I'm stressed to say the least. Not only am I worried about my grades this semester, but also the classes I will be taking next semester. It just gets harder from here. Hopefully, everything works out and goes smoothly.

It feels weird that I have no "To Do" list for this class next week. I am proud of all the work I did in this class and have learned so much. It has changed my way of thinking and helped me grow academically and mentally. I truly want to say thank you to Laura. I have never had so much fun learning or enjoyed a class this much. I hope in the future I can take another class with you!

Introduction to a Physician Assistant

Image
Hi everyone! My name is Avani Patel, and I am a sophomore. I am majoring in Biology with the hopes of becoming a Physician Assistant.  I choose Biology as my major especially because of its versatility and because of my interest in the sciences. With Biology, I am able to learn the traditional side of the science, and the major itself is incredibly rigorous as it entails complex material and courses. Becoming a Physician Assistant is my goal, but I am still hesitant and unsure. As you can see, I am indecisive. Although this is the case, I am a very diligent student once I set my mind to something. This last year I was able to maintain a 4.0 GPA and obtain junior standing! In my free time, I love watching movies and sleeping! Netflix is something I am always on. My favorite shows right now are Grey's Anatomy, How to Get Away with Murder, and Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj. This summer, I was able to do both - watch movies and sleep! My family and I also went to Texas, Arkansas, a

Week 7 Story: The Rice and The Man

Image
( The Broken Pot by John D. Batten) The updated version of the story is here on my Portfolio! In a small village in Gujarat, India, there lived a man named Vittap. His name evidently signified his behavior; he guarded his wealth closely.  One day, Vittap had gathered a surplus amount of rice grains from working in his neighbor's fields and begging in the village. Growing rice was no easy task. After eating the rice that same evening, Vittap put the remaining rice in a pot. The pot was hung over his couch so that he could bathe in its glory.  As Vittap became drowsy, he dreamed about his future with the rice. He thought, "My beautiful rice. Oh, how beautiful! If there is a famine, I will always have my rice. Wait, can the rice not make me some profit?" "I can buy a few goats with the rice and eventually have a family of goats!" "I can then sell the goats, and get a couple of cows!" "I can then sell cow milk and purc
