Lockers have officially arrived at the Upstairs of South Dining Hall at Kutztown University! My eyes could not believe it when I saw it! The Safe Sack group actually made a difference! We accomplished our goal and it feels fantastic! Now every time Katie Schreck and I go upstairs to eat at South Dining Hall we just have these huge goofy grins on our faces. The first time we actually saw the lockers people thought we were a little crazy because we were jumping up and down!
We officially turned in project two last Thursday. This semester is just flying by so quickly! I cannot even believe it! Even though I was a little frustrated on Tuesday, I was still happy that we did the peer reviews. I ended up using two academic journal articles. You were only supposed to choose one……
Required sources: Locate one scholarly journal article, one book chapter, and one alternative source of your choosing (for instance, a TED talk video, etc.).
Whoops. You see I thought that the one alternative source meant that it could be anything. This is why I was so happy we had the peer review and that Vanessa caught that for me. But I ended up choosing a TED talk video as my third source. Then everything turned out to be fine with my source choices! I chose the video titled Elizabeth Gilbert on Nurturing Creativity. Elizabeth Gilbert argues that writers and creative people should not be afraid of their work and need to find ways to recalibrate. I really enjoyed this TED talk video. Elizabeth Gilbert wrote the book Eat, Pray Love. She originally chose writing as a career because writing is her love, and her fascination of writing. At the start of her career multiple people had a similar question, and asked if she was worried that she may never have a bestseller book. Being only forty this mind set is a concern to her because she feels she has at least four more decades of writing, and is not ready to stop writing books as a profession. She said that she was afraid and had this advice to offer “Don’t be afraid. Don’t be daunted. Do your job.”. I love that quote of Elizabeth Gilbert! Don't be afraid to follow your dreams! If you work hard, some day it will all pay off!!
I've said it before, but I will say it again. I'm so proud of your group for solving the problem you set out to solve. You deserve to feel goofy happy. Don't forget the feeling. And don't be afraid to pursue other problems in the future. ;)
