These are some notes from class about what should be in my final essay. I need to make sure it is a reflection of who I am, and I need to show how I can utilize what I learned in class. I need to make it personal to myself, my major, and my life. The word limit is 1000 but can add pictures.
For the team final I need to show how we see the future. It can be humorous or can include anything we talked about in class. We need to demonstrate what we got out of this class.
Focus on the future:
The video, "did you know 3.0" was an eye opener to how fast the world is changing, so we have got to get going, and be prepared. As a country we always think we are the best, but we are being lazy and staying in our comfort zone. This is causing us to get left behind, we are not at the head of change and innovation anymore.
There are four groups of people: 1. Are we going to contribute to make the future we want to happen? 2. Are we going to just wait and see what future will happen? 3. When the future arrives, are we going to ask what happened? 4. “huh, something happened?” I read the book George Orwell’s 1984 my freshman year of high school and I have always thought their look into the future interesting.
I liked what Dr. Vanegas said about the cat. You can’t sit a cat on a hot stove twice. Cats aren't stupid! I think the boiling pot syndrome is a classic saying and more people should pay attention to it, including me. Change temp fast the frog will jump out, if you gradually heat up the water, the frog doesn’t notice.
The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.
-Albert Einstein
Nothing ever is everything is becoming –John Danvers ;nothing is actually static.
Rather than just seeing people as they appear, one can also focus on who they are becoming. Ex) susan boyle
I wanted to cry when I first saw this video, My priest sent it to me and I thought it was awesome! She should be someone people look up to, not someone like Britney Spears.

The job market is changing, it is globalized and America is not the only source of trained workers. We need to be learning and preparing for our next job because most jobs that we have now will not even exist in 20 years.
The five pen computer was amazing. I never expected that!
Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail -Ralph waldo emerson
