My Goals
We all have goals in life. Many people walk down the path towards there goals, but get lost with the many things life can throw at you. I think it's a worthy goal not to let life distract me from my goals. Besides that, what are my other goals?
To sum it up, I want to learn. I want to be able to better understand the universe that we inhabit and make better sense of it. My idol Carl Sagan said, " If we crave some cosmic purpose, then let us find ourselves a worthy goal." To me, the more I know about our reality and the world around us, is a worthy goal. This goal is great because it is something that I have to keep working towards, it will take a lifetime. Even then I will only know a fraction of what this awesome universe holds.

SLCC's College-wide Learning Outcomes
- Acquire substantive knowledge in the discipline of their choice sufficient for further study, and/or demonstrate competencies required by employers to be hired and succeed in the workplace.
I think that my work in my astronomy class best demonstrates this SLCC learning goal. This class was a great insight to what I am to expect in the future of pursuing my major in astronomy. I was able to learn many of the basics that will assist me in the work place. Through this class I also joined the Astronomical Society club at SLCC, and was able to go to an observatory and learn to use one of their telescopes. Click here to check out my work in my astronomy class. - Communicate effectively.
I have gotten a whole lot better at being able to organize and present ideas in writing this can be seen by comparing both of my English papers. You can find these papers on the composition page. In doing these essays I also had to use my many resources to gather and analyze information. - Develop quantitative literacies necessary for their chosen field of study.
This is shown in my aerodynamics class. For my signature assignment we had to use and interpret information represented as data, graphs, tables, and schematics. Aerodynamics also required mathematical theory to figure out some problems in the the class. - Think critically.A. Reason effectively using available evidence, and are aware that knowledge is dynamic and builds on new
In my HTML fundamentals class we had to write four blogs about topic from our text displaying creative thinking, expression, and application. The Venus project and how I think that it can come about demonstrate effective problem solving. I was also able to reason effectively using available evidence, and are aware that knowledge is dynamic and builds on new evidence and alternative perspectives. - Develop the knowledge and skills to be civically engaged, and/or to work with others in a professional and constructive manner.
I believe that my learning in the Religious Diversity class best displays this goal. This class has helped me understand and appreciate human difference. Religion is a very personal thing in many peoples lives. I now better understand the social, historical, and political underpinning of communities.
