What I've Learned through Activites and Tours

I would have to say I've learned quite a lot from the various activities and tours I've been on. So, I thought I might go ahead and share a few things.

From my tours I learned more about two aspects of the Criminal Justice System. I learned what the grunts (or the police officers) have to go through to get where they are and the things they have to do to become a sworn officer. I also learned what the squints (or the lab investigator people) have to go through to gain their job and what their work environment looks like. Both of these tours told me about some of the oppurtunities I can have when I graduate from ASU. They taught me more about my major and the oppurtunities that are open to me as soon as I gain my degree.

My activity regarding Bernard Scheer was extremely moving. It gave my an insight into the history involving WWII and the Holocaust besides the one I already had. I learned from him the effects hatred can have on people and how we must never be silent regarding the murder of innocent people and the hatred of innocent people--the reprecussions can be unforgivable and unforgettable.

My attendance at the Downtown Devil Expo, the Student Job and the Study Abroad Fair taught me a little more about the oppurtunites that the area surrounding the university offer and an interesting oppurtunity that the university itself offers. While these activities didn't teach me anything vital to my major, I do feel they taught me a little more about my college community and some oppurtunity that the college offers. I learned more about the jobs offered by the school and institutions close to the school. I also learned what it takes to be eligible for the study abroad program.

*Hope you enjoyed the military and the Bones reference in the first paragraph :)
