First Assignment

I would have to agree with W. Norton Grubb in his essay, “The New Vocationalism: What It Is, What It Could Be.” All during high school, especially in math, I would sit there and ask the teachers, “How would I use this in real life?” They made an attempt to explain, but it never usually made sense.
At first, I enrolled at SFCC because it was so much cheaper then any other college in the area. My goals are mostly for outside of school. I’m just focusing on graduating. After SFCC, my goals would be to possibly start designing t-shirt, flyers, myspace layouts, or more stencils. It doesn’t sound like it would be a very big goal, but its something that I love to do. Plus, if I get enough shirt designs, I might be able to start my own clothing line. My goal, as weird as this sounds, but just proves Grubb’s point. By having a school that teaches based on the “new basics,” I still don’t know what I would want to really do in life. I think if I had a school that showed more practical purposed on what I was learning, then maybe I would have a career goal in mind.
