As I reflect over all of my General Education classes I quickly realize how important they were in shaping the person I am today. Each class was a stepping stone in a new direction and honestly sometimes it was the thorn in my side. However, after you get through it you realize how much you learned and how much the experiences that others discuss if often times the medicine you need to survive.
While sitting in Dobson's Art History class it was clear to me that he was all about teaching us how to become more independent of the thought of "homework" but the idea of wanting to "learn"....I know that sounds completely ridiculous but so many times as students we feel like everything is busy work...well that is not true.
Tieing everything together...from gen ed classes that helped to make me a more well-rounded student to my major classes that brought out my passion and what inspires me my experience and time at AI has only gotten better. I would not be who I am today without Ai.

Gen Ed Capstone Course
As I begin my last quarter on campus here at AI I can already tell that it will be a quick one.I am excited to explore what this class and this quarter have in store for me.As i look back over the last three years working towards a degree in the industry I am truly passionate about, becoming a leader for the student body as Previous President of Beau Monde, a mentor for incoming students living in residential life as a resident advisor for the housing community, and lastly as a part time sales specialist with BCBG Max Azria I can tell that these years have truly been a stepping stone for my future endeavors.
I am looking forward to the growth that will take place from this class and the recap of my general education courses here at AI. So many classes and instructors have truly been an instrumental part of my time at AI but only a few have left an imprint in my education. As I reviewed my Course Audit the main classes that stood out to me were Critical Thinking, Sociology, and Psychology taught by Sarah Vincent. Each of these classes used textbook topics and learning curves along with her dynamic ways of illustrating live and pressing issues to convey major points. For example, in Critical Thinking we were forced to work in groups to accomplish various tasks that were related to the specific topics of the week. Every time I was in class it was warm, welcoming, informational, and exciting which made me want to attend each and every week to see what else was in store.
I truly feel that every general education class has not only taught me about specific topics and course related materials but about myself and the goals I should set for myself along with the action plan to carry it out. I am looking forward to the new chapters in my life...
