Scholarship Night #2

The event was very informative on how we as students navigate life and how to utilize both our passions as well as our "genius" to choose a fulfilling career. I enjoyed the instructor's energy and methods to interact with the group.

"What's your real GPA" was a very interesting section. It really made me question my college major and if it's really what I like and want. It was sad to learn that most adults don't like the job they have and as a result don't have a better life. I really like how encouraging the host was. He said that it was okay if I hadn't found my talent yet, I just needed to experience more stuff before I do. I like how at the end we were reminded of upcoming deadlines.

At this event we talked about “what your real gpa is”. At first I thought we were actually going to talk about our academic gpa so far in the semester, but it actually was about how to either choose the right major or know if our current major is really what we want to do. It was discussed that students should choose their major based on what their geniuses at, or in other words what their skills are. It’s important that what you want in your future is what you are really passionate about, it was said that by the age of 27 most people are “dead”. Not literal, but it means that something inside them dies because they aren’t doing something they are passionate about. I really enjoyed this event and I learned a lot.
