POST #1

As I set forth into the world of Colloquium I have high hopes in the content I will be introduced to and that I will be able to learn. I hope to encounter many obstacles that will challenge my mind and give me the opportunity to think and to further develop my knowledge of not only South West Florida, but the entire state, country, or world. The out doors have always inspired me and I have always found myself to be in a better state of mind when I am out in the fresh air. This class will put me in a great atmosphere to learn and to grow as an individual. As I have read so far the curriculum is set up to where each student is required to do service learning hours to help the environment. I think this is an amazing idea, not only for my self but for everyone to further get acquainted with the environment and to learn how the environment can give back if you put time into it. Some people may have negative opinions of this class being required but I think it is of great importance due to the fact that our world is slowly breaking down and will soon be at a stand still due to a lack of resources. If we as students are to be the future it is important that we are aware of what is going on in the environment and what changes we need to make to ensure the longevity of our normal daily living styles. I am looking forward to an action pack semester filled with a plethora of knowledge.
